All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

*Possible spoilers* This movie has a lot going for it. Two decent actors in an unusual situation. What failed it is the writing. A little explicit drama / tension from Eleanor's boyfriend was far from enough. A bunch of hackneyed characters (rich parents who are cynical and don't care, poor parents who are dispirited and don't care) contribute little beyond background. We didn't need them to realize that Eleanor and Reg are special people. There can be humor on a Sunday or in the rain, but there was little in this tale ... which, in much more skilled hands had loads of possibility. All of New York for locations and we see a couple of parks? What they share in common isn't revealed until too late?Too bad. Fine photography, nicely directed, but ... a whimper of a story apart from two lonely souls whose days together never light up more than the average day.

I loved the way this movie presented its uniqueness and individuality ~ nonconforming to the norm. The role of Eleanor was played brilliantly, but it is of Reggie that I want to see much more. Raw talent waiting to be shared. In Reggie's words, "You have a talent..." Please give me more of this young artist! I laughed, I cried! Cried hard at the ending, did not want it to end at all, but certainly not there. Perhaps we could see sequel to the remainder of Reggie's youth, that would also include Eleanor and how they finally return.I put this movie in enjoyment equal to "The Notebook". I watched it twice, will probably watch it a few more times. This movie is a gift.

You know some movies just give you shivers, because they are amazing. Well, this movie is far more than amazing. It's extraordinary! It's unbelievable how music can charm you. After watching this movie I am just sitting there in my chair and thinking which movie can be better? Which movie can release your feelings more? Which movie is so beautiful that you can cry of happiness? After being fired and braking up with her boyfriend the 23 years old Eleanor has no idea what to do with her live. Until, she gets the chance to become a nanny for a rich family in the upper West side of New York. There she is supposed to take care of the genius twelve year old boy named Reggie. But quickly the roles switch. Reggie takes care of Eleanor and an unlikely friendship arises. Through the film you will directly be in sympathy with both Reggie and Eleanor. And at least you can enjoy the beautiful soundtrack produced by Ed Harcourt.

This is such a beautiful simple movie , i loved every second of it and i really didn't want it to end. the casting is amazing that little boy is really talented and Leighton Messter is one of the best actresses out there. It's a must see movie. The movie will keep you absorbed and interested until the end even though it is really slow pased. It is also beautifully written the script was amazing it was like wise poetry in some way. this movie goes straight to my all time favourites and i will be rewatching it as soon as i can. the main soundtrack "like Sunday like Rain" is also amazing such beautiful sad music that goes perfectly with the kid's and the Nanny's current situation. absolutely beautiful.
