"Channel Jean Renoir through Luis Buñuel—voilà!—Jean Vigo. This, his only feature, renders the mundane magical, the sad humorous, and the flesh transcendent as it portrays young newlyweds and their life on a river barge. “All day long it’s either smooching or squabbling,” laments a companion. And so it is in this poignant, poetic paean to the beauty and tribulations of married love."

"I genuinely grieved for Anna for days after I finished reading it. That’s what reading Tolstoy is like…the best and purest realism. I also love that a man wrote a story that so perfectly portrays the misogyny that this woman was subjected to: punished for loving another man, torn apart from her son, isolated and addicted to drugs and suffering postpartum depression. Super sad and beautiful."

Very relatable characters. The story was well laid out almost diary like in the characters lives. (0 more)
A good read.
I think every woman can relate to parts of Emma Morley, unrequited love or being passed over as a friend who may say the wrong thing. Dex the cool guy who doesn't recognise what he has. A lovely story and i was sad when i finished it.

A fine example of great actors, Winslet won an Oscar for this film telling a sad love story. The film has two different halves. The first with an impressive performance by David Kross as a teenage boy who begins an affair one summer with a much older woman. The couple appear naked for much of the first half of the film as the couple spend their time either reading or making love. The second half of the film is set a good few years later as their paths cross again at a war crimes trial. For me quite a few things in the film don't have much of a back story or make a lot of sense. For me the end of the film didn't have a satisfying conclusion and leaves a lot of questions unanswered. A sad story of two lonely lives and the impact they had on each other.

I loved this book. I'm sad it took me so long to pick it up. I finished the whole thing in a day. I love me some of the guard. the Prince is nice and all but until he stands up to his father or becomes king then he isn't really with her time.

I <3 me some Andy Samberg, I was sad when he left SNL, but this show was a good choice. The show is funny, actually laugh out loud funny, and the supporting cast is great. Peralta (Samberg) is a goofy, non-rule following detective at Brooklyn 99, and when the new Chief is appointed, everything changes. Even in the first season, Peralta developed and matured as a character.

I've been watching this show for years now and istill love it. As much as i hate how many of the characters have been killed off i still love the show. It makes me somewhat sad knowing it might not be on for much longer but i shall continue to watch it until it isn't on anymore

I have had this sitting on my shelf since it came out. I finally got around to reading it and am very sad it took me so long. I love a good contemporary romance. This one has more than romance. There are multiple big plots that all interweave to create this fantastic read. My only problem is that it takes forever for both of them to realize what they want
