...have won a full scholarship to Barnard. This movie lacks the energy and verve of An Education, the coming-of-age drama that catapulted the British actress to an Oscar nomination last year. But with her sweet solemnity, Mulligan gives it some weight. She and Brosnan have a lovely rapport; when Rose tells Allen that she thinks Bennett was the "love of her life," it might be the saddest moment in the film. (See the 100 best movies of all time...
They say comedy is the hardest genre to pull off, but to my mind, the grief drama is the most miserable beast to take on (think how the mighty Peter Jackson got mired in it in The Lovely Bones). If there's no romance to counter the loss, the box office tends not to be boffo (as with Nick Cassavetes' 2009 My Sister's Keeper which may have infuriated as many people as it moved).

...that love withered in the time apart. For instance, Jasdeep Chawla from New Delhi sought advice from me, as a brother, when he wanted to end his sister’s arranged marriage. Yigit Dizdarer from Izmir, Turkey was my guide through my adolescent crises and still my favorite source for advice. And when Kazushi Hoshino from Kyoto visited me two weeks ago and I introduced him to my Harvard “bros” as my brother, he wasn’t fazed and shared my laughter at their confused expressions...
