I feel bad for Aaron Eckhart. His career found a strong footing in the mid-2000s with a powerhouse performance in the satirical masterpiece "Thank You For Smoking" followed by another compellingly unforgettable one as Two-Face in "The Dark Knight" as well as getting attention for other critically lauded works such "Rabbit Hole".

This film is so compositionally perfect that you feel not only what the characters are going through internally on an emotional level, but also externally under the warmth of the rays of sunshine in Northern Italy. It makes the audience feel like they're there by keeping the filmmaking process as natural…
