This is one movie which truly depicts what friendship is, what love is, be it for your friend, be
it between a mother and her child. In a marvelous performance by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet the movie revolves around Johney Depp (a playwriter) and Kate Winslet's (a widow) family and how the friendship between Depp and Winslet takes a new form. And among the kids Peter Davies has done an excellent job. You wo
n't see such a power
ful performance from such a small kid in any other movie. There is a scene in the ending of the movie where Peter is sitting with Depp in a garden and he cries remembering her mother's death. That single scene is so
powerful that you need to see it to believe it. The locals are great with lush green trees and lawns truly represent Scotland. The sepia color effect is infact used in a great a
mount and it appeals to the screenplay of the movie. The USP of the movie is the powerful screenplay.
