  • 3. The dye is cast The dice are rolled I feel like shit you look like gold.

This is an amazing movie. Sure, I may be overstating it, but I LOVED it! It is beautiful, captivating, and just perfect. I like the acting, I like the actors, I love the plot. Liv Tyler plays a young woman who travels to Italy to learn a few things about her family and love... her acting is perfect for the role she plays. They did a good job of casting her.
