Saw this last night and agree with Patrick's comments.
At first and really the first 30 minutes or so, I was thinking this was kind of strange and even awkward at times? But it's a nice film that does take some time to get to you and I enjoyed it. Crowe is rather effective at all kinds of acting roles it seems. Albert Finney was great too.
Really loved "Gemma". She was such a smarty pants and made me smile watching her.
It certainly has a Euro flavor throughout.
Pleasant film that does have a nice message.
8/10.
