Miranda: Schizoid or con woman? Innocent as a child or seasoned manipulator? Frank the librarian intends to find out, and in the process explores a new kind of love, trying to accept all the possibilities and not lose himself. Christina Ricci carries off all her character's contortions. John Simms' Frank -- WOW! Sweet, open, funny, wise, strong, honest -- forced to look at his preconceived ideas of love also forces Miranda to look at herself and her life; she realizes there is much more to living than just being "in control". Throw in a huge portion of the lovely, skewed British sense of humor and a mad dash of best friend Julian Rhind-Tutt, who sees the world through the eyes of Asian karate films. "Love IS a powerful force." The supporting characters Kyle McLaughlin, John Hurt, Matthew Marsh, etc., all do their jobs well in adding the appropriate tentative creepiness to this sexy film, making Frank a true movie hero. Enjoyed this film very much.
