CGiii Comment

Division & conflict...the world is full of them. Politicians and pieces of papers make many lives miserable.

Michael Mayer, without a shadow of a doubt, demonstrates his immense talent...not only by balancing political complexity but by juggling emotions...while sitting precariously on a non-judgmental fence. Masterful work indeed...especially for a first feature.

This is a love story, rich and intense - the chemistry between the two leads is tender, tense and true...their story is all-involving regardless of where your own division lies - 'love will always find a way'...will it? Does it? Can it?

Nicholas Jacob has a smile that will melt hearts...little compensation for his character's heartbreak. Watch, learn, melt.

Easily, one of the finest films of 2012.
