However, in spite of the fact that I deeply connect to the subject matter, the film's storyline has always left me feeling a little cold. There's something that keeps me from from rooting for the characters or feeling invested in their lives. This might be intentional, but it keeps the movie from being the masterpiece it could be. Instead, it's just a nice little movie with a dreamlike quality that can't be beat if you're in the mood for scenery porn.

Still haven't seen it.
There's a book version too. It's 566 pages long.
The Place Promised in Our Early Days + Voices of a Distant Star is coming to Blu as a double pack next month.
