Norton + Watts + Maugham = Great Movie

I don't usually write reviews, but this movie is worth the effort.
Norton and Watts have excellent chemistry and acting skills in this movie. their entire relationship (the awkwardness when they first met; the hatred btw them when Walter found out; and their gradual realization of each other's good points) was perfectly shown. I loved how the flashbacks were shown as Walter and Kitty traveled to the remote town. That was extremely unique and clever.
The score and scenary were excellent...they enhanced the movie in so many ways. the subtle humor was unexpected but utilized perfectly. This isn't a movie for teens, but I'm a teenager and I enjoyed it greatly.
Overall, I loved the story...it was different which is more than you can say for most movies these days. It was real. It's a definite must-see.
