Melodrama romántico que empareja al guaperas de Richard Gere con la estupenda Winona Ryder. La película tiene un toque muy personal, quizá porque la dirige una mujer, que además es oriental. Joan Chen trata de profundizar en los motivos que laten detrás del amor verdadero: autosacrificio por la persona amada, que lleva a darlo todo por ella. A alguno quizá la historia le parezca algo empalagosa, pero estamos seguros que más de uno no podrá evitar echar la inevitable lagrimita.
A May-December romance. He's 48, on the cover of New York magazine, an upscale restaurateur, and a womanizer who rejects ideas of love. She's 22, living with her grandmother, artistic, facing a tumor that's life-threatening, which she tells him about the morning after their first night, when he tells her not to expect permanence from him. Will finds Charlotte unprecedented and unpredictable, and experiences feelings of love, but she packs him off when he's casually unfaithful. He's stung, and he's also flummoxed by the appearance of a young woman from his past. Can he convince Charlotte to take him back, and can he help her through her illness and change his irresponsible ways?
"Drama romántico que intenta explotar la presencia de sus dos conocidos protagonistas (...) Preparen el pañuelo." (Fernando Morales: Diario El País)
