Purely Joyful Movie!

Brilliant and touching

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

...helps one to fall asleep. I've no idea what this film is about, except that it is several whiny 20-30 somethings together... including the obligatory minority who is one of three decent actors in the piece (though you wouldn't know it watching this)... and something to do with a screenplay. The dialogue (delivered as if reading from the script) is mostly about how misery loves company, 'gosh i feel really sorry about myself', and lets make the audience feel the same unless they're already put to sleep by the soft lulling of acoustic guitar...There's a ship floating in the water, one guy tries to swim to it and he hurts his foot... oh oops that 's the end... That pretty much sums up the whole thing.

I saw this film on the Sundance channel. The film is quite special. It is very simple film, but yet it is not. It only introduces 8 characters-Brad, Kiki, Arabella, Ellie, Ryland, Jordan, Frick, and Trey. The film was one of the most beautiful and moving pieces I had seen in a long time, with a heart felt soundtrack and moving cinematography, and ofcourse wonderful acting all around. Ignore bad comments on this film, and see it for what it is- a great movie, Bravo John Huddles. And Thanks.

So mannered and "actor-y" you want to scream, this film is notable only for the participation of the always-wonderful Dan Futterman. This is the nadir of Jennifer Connelly's self-conscious, "aren't-I-a-fine-actress?" film turns (at least she's not relying on her breasts as usual). Not worth the time.

I saw the movie... Oh my God... parts of it, because half of the time I was fighting against sleeping...The only thing that I take out of that crap is the great performer Jennifer Connelly....I would like to ask her agent why he (or her) scheduled a film like FAR HARBOR ....It`s a another pill like MELATONINE.....Thank you.
