A strong candidate for film of 2004. In the "Brief Encounter" and "Before Sunrise" mode, it's tale of fleeting glances and unresolved love.

Murray fulfills the potential he's been increasingly showing, and Johansson has a face that can tell a story.

My one criticism is the ending. I would have finished with the muffled conversation, and the audience unsure of their future. The fact that they kiss undoes the good work. Sill it's a minor point, in an otherwise solid film.
