Own Review:
Even though that I thought the storylines were stretched a bit to far, with new drugs and a serial killer, the film was very touching. The reason for this is most likely the great acting between Rory and Jeff Goldblum. Even with only narrated words, the audience can feel the sadness of the main characters. The location fits perfectly in to the melancholic storyline. Max (Jeff Goldblum) Storyline is a little to blurry, I thought a flashback would have been a good idea, but since there were so many other aspects in the movie it never happened. So, the best scenes is when it's just about their relationsship and how they deal with each other. It's not my favourite movie, because of all those annoying side plots but Rory as ever did a pretty good stop so I wouldn't call it a waste of time.
