Luma, You are so right. I was tearing up at different parts of the movie in between my laughing. Anne-Marie is so powerful at the end with Helen, you could feel her pain that's when I really started to cry. I also read the book and I think the movie stayed true to it. Yes,Yes,Yes - It's in the face and the body language you watch and listen and you feel like you are in the room with them. That is why I love watching his movies, he is so natural he becomes that person. I loved the part when he grabs Masha at the pond. He is so crazy, happy he can'nt wait to be with her. He tries to kiss her and she turns away, but he does'nt give up. She is giving him a hard time and he does'nt know why she is like that. Then she tells him to come with her and how happy he is. He was just great, I have never seen him act like this before. This part is different from all the others. When it comes out in Jan. I'll be there again to see it.
