From reading the reviews it's clear people either loved or hated this movie. This is probably less about the science vs spiritualism theme it explores and more about whether or not you enjoy a delicate, deliberately paced movie (which this is). Personally, I enjoyed pretty much everything about it. The characters felt very real to me, enough to make me teary a couple of times. The nature of lab work was also realistically portrayed, capturing the willingness of researchers to put months of work into often fruitless explorations. My only (minor) complaint is that Sophie could have used more character development, because she comes across as a bit of a one-trick pony. Maybe the writer thought making her mysterious would help sell the whole soulmate angle. However, giving the couple something more than just sex in common would have served much better. Then again, maybe that's the point - is it destiny or just hormones?
i think the ending is open to some interpretation. I thought it depicted the lead character's journey into greater open mindedness, whereas my friend chose to see it as more of a spiritual awakening. It's one of those things you have to decide for yourself I guess.
