houri2 good story, good acting. no over-acting, no under-acting. beautiful shots/scenery. rottentomatoes gave it a very low rating, but this is proof that a movie doesn't need to score extremely high to be enjoyed. i enjoyed this movie very much. no complaints really. i watch a lot of movies and sometimes they are painfully unfunny or lack creativity or even anything remotely artistic. this movie had a lot of beauty and can reach a broad audience i think. sophie marceau is lovely to look at and the daughter louisa was not nearly as bratty as max from 'where the wild things are' - you don't feel like you're watching a ritalin advert. i liked the movie because in its simplicity, minimal dialogue, etc, they were able to give me something good to watch.

loris272002 I woke up to the movie at 7:00 am and was pleasantly surprised. I was captivated by the story. I like historical romance stories. I normally don't seek out movies like historical romance stories. The characters were memorable and left me wanting more. Unfortually I missed the beginning but was captivated by the story and the characters. Trying to watch it again but can't find it on cable or what channel it is on. I have search on cable on demand for the channel encore but can't find it. Any information you could give would be great. thanks...

micsteph_ Even though some may find the storyline predictable, the actors and the performances they give are well worth seeing. This was only the second movie I ever saw Sophie in and I love her in it! I'd never seen Stephen Dillane before and this movie made me search more of his movies. The story is of a young woman who agrees to have a baby for a mystery man, only to find that she has to find him and the child she gave up, no matter the consequences. When she finds them she has to come to terms with the reasons and realities behind her actions and of the father. What follows is the choice that we all make. Find happiness, or live with what life has allotted us?

eustfam First, I loved it because I am such a sucker for love stories and Sophie Marceu and Stephen Dillane give superb performances...their love scenes steam up the screen...she is subtle and controlled and he is so sexy, despite his brooding character. I don't want to moralize but what I hated were the values conveyed in the film--"when the lights go out, there are no rules...you can do anything you want..." And that is what the lead actor does in the end--he does something really despicable--while what he does leads to a so-called "happy" ending--it leaves the viewer with a bad taste in the mouth. "The end justifies the means." Ugh. I expected the film to have a tragic ending because of the lead actor's action--bad action leads to bad consequences after all. I just wish the script were revised to make it a truly happy ending...the moral ambiguity certainly does not make it a happy ending! The director could have chosen to end it tragically or happily with slight changes to the script.
