That was a great movie. I read the subject matter in the preview and thought...this sounds interesting. I can't believe this came out in 2005. Twelve years isn't that long ago, however...it fits right in with 2017. It was easy to fall for the main characters. I found myself being torn between ... wanting Rachel to remain with Heck and wanting her to be with Luce. It's a story of love. Just when you think you've found true love, life throws you a curve ball and complicates everything. In the end, everyone seems to end up where they should be.
