I quite enjoyed this little film, but in the end it deflated a bit. Still, Ciarán Hinds is absolutely stellar in this role, portraying a quiet, decent man who desperately misses his late wife. The briefest of romantic interludes with Iben Hjejle is a missed opportunity I think, and could have been made into something more, but the film doesn't suffer for it. Aidan Quinn's boorish character is a foil to Hinds, but really more an unnecessary distraction. Overall a wistful, melancholy film, and well worth your time.
