I watched this movie for the first time during a long flight during 2010. It was one of the movies available in the airline's collection and I ran out of movies I haven't watched before. I found this to be a very charming movie at the time, and for some reason also associated this with my memories from that trip. A while later, I wanted to watch this again and I wasn't able to recall the name of this movie (I wasn't a movie buff back then). After a decade later, I managed to trace this movie and watch it again.
The chemistry between Patricia Clarkson and Alexander Siddig is what makes this movie special. It's well written and directed (although, I think some dialogues are improvised). A very underrated movie. I'm a big fan of Richard Linklater's Before trilogy. This movie adopts the same story telling style.
