Movie Haiku:Straight-ahead narrative about taking chances. All of the characters have been brutalized by life & each one is initially presented in emotional bubble-wrap. But the connections between them grow as they stand their ground against the harsh Newfoundland coastline. Beatiful cinematography, soundtrack & heartfelt performances, all characteristic of Hallstrom's adaptations.
