Zellweger deserves an Oscar for convincing us she's smitten with Howard, a boor in every sense of the word. Loud & abrasive, he's also socially awkward, creepily attached to his mother & probably manic depressive. What Price sees in him is anyone's guess because the filmmakers completely fail to illustrate why she can't get over such an insufferable lout. Hopefully Price's memoir (begun shortly after the 1st Conan film came out - probably the height of Howard's fame) made a much better case.

Fazla tutkulu, fazla ağdalı ama finaliyle izleyeni mıhlayan duygusal bir film. Aşk hikayesinin yanında anne-oğul arasındaki bağımlı ilişki de ilginç ve ebeveynleri çocuk yetiştirme konusunda sorgulatacak bir yan hikaye olmuş. Robert'ta kendimi gördüm diyebilirim. Babanın mektubu, Robert'ın yürüyüşü, yaşlı kadının söyledikleri ve Novalyne'in umut dolu son gülüşü aklımdan çıkmıyor. (Robert: Gün batımına bak, senin için ısmarladım.)
