Though the countries and length of time getting to know one another were different in my case, Doremus is definitely the first director to even coming close to capturing the emotional strangeness that comes when dealing with complexities of being separated by visa issues, which have uncertain outcomes. Although I do agree that there was a certain lack of chemistry at the beginning, it did seem to deepen throughout the movie (just like in real life), and then ebb and flow. Doremus toys with the precariousness of dealing with perceptions of the other person based on a shared past only to find one's current context a force to be reckoned with.Guestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139769202527811820.post-48099245934005342062011-12-02T03:47:53.755-08:002011-12-02T03:47:53.755-08:00Ooooh I haven't seen Albatross yet, but I look...Ooooh I haven't seen Albatross yet, but I look forward to it.<br /><br />Poor Jennifer Lawrence.

She was wasted. You're probably right about Felicity Jones as well. She looks to be on her way to stardom. I hope Albatross gets released in this country at some point, to see her in a different role, not to mention Julia Ormond. <br /><br />Danny - themoviegoer-danny.blogspot.comDannynoreply@blogger.com
