With or Without You (1999)

With or Without You: Directed by Michael Winterbottom. With Christopher Eccleston, Dervla Kirwan, Yvan Attal, Julie Graham. Rosie and Vincent know each other for ten years, and are married for five.

Did Rosie love him? Does she love him now?

“I think the previous comments were a little harsh…itu0026#39;s a romantic comedy and not a bad example of one at that. As far as the plot goes I would compare it with the British TV series u0026quot;Cold Feetu0026quot; (not quite as good though). Dervla Kirwan is quirky and funny in her role and itu0026#39;s nice to see Chris Eccleston do something a bit different to Doctor Who. I also appreciated the underlying theme of Northern Irish Protestant/Catholic differences. Great soundtrack too, of course! All in all, itu0026#39;s entertainment, while not Oscar material,it was fun to watch and thatu0026#39;s what counts, isnu0026#39;t it? A refreshing change from the formulaic Hollywood romantic comedies.”
