80
As talented as Polley proved herself in "The Sweet Hereafter" and "Go," this is her best work yet.
63
A shy and depressed college graduate falls in love with a Bohemian artist, as in Woody Allen's "Manhattan."
75
Should make Polley, memorable in "The Sweet Hereafter" and "Go," into a bona-fide star.
63
The cumbersome wrap-up, which follows a four-year narrative gap, seems too fanciful and bogs down what has been a stronger second hour.

TNT RoughCutMorgan Fouch
Polley's doe-eyed innocence is in overdrive.
75
At the heart of the film, Polley - with her wary, unsure stares, her open smile and beguiling intelligence - is terrific.
90
Offers something magical in the haunting and hypnotic performance of Sarah Polley...(the film) cuts deep.
