This unusual but strikingly affecting movie stars Marisa Tomei as Ruby, a young woman with a string of bad relationships behind her, who falls in love with a guy named Sam (Vincent D'Onofrio,
f1i Full Metal Jacket
f0i0 ,
f1i The Whole Wide World
f0i0 ). Initially, Sam just seems quirky, but eventually he tells her his secret: he's a time traveler from 400 years in the future.
f1i Happy Accidents
f0i0 walks a delicate line between genres, never making it clear whether Sam is delusional or telling the truth until the end. The strange blend of genres (which plays like romantic comedy, not like science fiction) may make some viewers balk, but writer-director Brad Anderson (
f1i Next Stop Wonderland
f0i0 ) has a gift for both revealing psychological insights and sensual moments--like when Sam explains principals of time travel by running his hands up Ruby's leg--that, combined with the superb cast, are constantly engaging and sincerely touching.
