My man! Mark Ruffalo is a good actor. And here he is just unbelievably OUTstanding.
Not only is he steamy as hell in his body language when it's a matter of sex, but every detail of his performance through the movie is so right on! The tone of his voice, the movements of his hands, the way he talks, what he looks at, ...
On the opposite, I have been puzzled by Meg Ryan's performance : frankly I haven't quite figured out if I have not understood what she wanted to show or if she really was uncomfortable with her character and/or if she is simply less good at playing certain things. For instance, when she's sitting touching herself, I find her very not credible. Also, when she's drunk and seems to be ready to fall, etc.
Oh and in the nudity scene when they talk, it's strange when Ruffalo covers himself after Meg Ryan puts sheets back on him! It is so weird. Do you do that when you're naked with your boyfriend? I really saw as if it was the actress Meg Ryan who noticed that Mark Ruffalo's penis was visible and she noticed to him to put the sheets on him.
Back to Ruffalo, I wanna emphasize that this man is underrated. I don't know why in Los Angeles the most famous actors are not the best ones. In this movie, he will be very unforgettable for me because I felt very exposed as a woman and I felt a lot of very pleasant feelings thanks to him.
As for the story and all, I must say that I didn't like the blurry look of the whole image, but I loved that Campion was filming New York in a very ordinary way and the soundtrack was so original that you actually hear it, not like in those blockbusters where you don't even notice the music anymore, especially the one of the end.
I find that 5 out of 10 as a general note is way too down. I would love it to go up a bit.
