The thing that makes this movie special is that despite knowing exactly (and I mean exactly) how the movie is going to play out, it still got to me. I cried like a baby. I don't know if that's because of Joaquin Phoenix's performance, which was heart-wrenching, or because only a cold bastard wouldn't cry at the story, but whatever it was I was bawling. Mark Ruffolo didn't really do a good job, his character deserved much better, but Jennifer Connelly, Joaquin Phoenix, even Elle Fanning, were amazing.
I'd highly recommend the movie for the criers out there. It's not an amazingly original film, like I said, and it probably didn't win any awards (yea just checked it didn't), but its a sweet movie and a sad movie. Worth the watch on a boring, lonely night.
