I was a bit disapointed because I waited for so much more. It was quite boring and I almost fell asleep. The story is okay, but the movie... boring.

But well, there is always something good and in this case was the actors. Lovely actors.

Great songs, great story, great playing. Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz and and "Norah Jones". She's very good at acting as much as singing. Pretty movie.

Wong Kar Wai is one of my favourite film makers, Top 5, one of the best of all time. This is his first English language movie, the rest have been in Chinese and almost exclusively set in Hong Kong. So this movie is quite the change, it's not only in English, it's set in America, mostly in New York. It's a rare film maker who can translate his sensibilities into not only a different language but a completely different culture as well. WKW manages this transition almost perfectly, despite a couple of missteps. The themes of the movie are familiar, not just to viewers of his previous movies. It's all about love, loss and yearning. Jude Law plays a cafe owner in New York, Jeremy, who encounters Norah Jones' character, Elizabeth, the night she breaks up with her boyfriend. Their romance does...Read more

Now, the only reason I watched this movie in the first place was because of Norah Jones. With that said, let's talk about the movie. This is a slow movie. It took me about half the movie to understand the point of it all, I guess I was a bit distracted by the seemingly pointlessness of the events. I understand how she felt she had to get away before she could move on. The first story with the drunk cop was pretty good and I liked it. The second story with Natalie Portman waa less believable. Didn't like Natalie's character, or Norah's characters naive ways aroudn her. All in all, the movie started with a one sided kiss and ended with a mutual kiss, and some stuff happend in between. A cute little story without much action or any sidestory.

First of all: only watch this movie if you are into these quiet movies like Lost in Translation.

Beside of that, I pretty much enjoyed the movie. The performances of Rachel Weisz and David Strathairn are short but realy intense, the rest of the cast wasn't bad either, a great debut of Norah Jones as an actress.

I've just seen the trailer of the movie and I think it sugests a totaly different movie. The trailer only shows the background story, most of the time we follow Norah Jones's journey through the country meeting some interesting characters.
