Nicholas Sparks' novel adapted by Jan Serdi and Jeremy Leven.
Having spent so many years being directed by his father, do you think Gena Rowlands directed herself? It's a well directed picture. Rachel McAdams is very fresh and youthful, Ryan is more of a smoulderer. But it's in that devastating scene in the home when Gena regresses and flips out and we see James Garner looking really emotionally troubled - that's the shot that kicks you in the heart.
I would have given Gena the Oscar. With Sam Shepherd, Kevin Connolly. Shot by Robert Fraisse in Panavision.
