This film about drama and romance features a debut performance for the singer Norah Jones. She plays Elizabeth a young woman who decided to take a trip and mend her broken heart and in the process rediscover her inner-self. In the process she leaves behind her deep friend Jude Law. This is the first full English language film directed by Wong Kar-Wai.
The plot of the film is primarily focused on romance with little in the way of action making this film more suited to girls in particular with the presence of Jude Law. This film boasts quite a good cast yet the least distinguished of the actors, Norah Jones, plays the lead. While she does relatively well she is often overshadowed by the Hollywood giants around her, in particular Natalie Portman who is brilliant. There is some humor to keep the audience interested and the some of the dialogue is very good. However, there was still not enough in this film for me and i would have rather seen Natalie Portman as the lead and Norah Jones as the cameo appearance.
This film is being billed as similar to Love Actually and it is true that the films are similar and if you enjoyed Love Actually you are likely to enjoy this film. Ultimately, even though the film was relatively short it was boring for long periods of the film as Norah Jones meanders around trying to rediscover herself. Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman and even Norah Jones provide solid performances but not enough to make this film good. After this film Kar-Wai may return to foreign language which is directing style was better suited to. If you enjoy this films of this genre it is worth going to see but if not i would steer clear.
