Love story and a stylish loneliness.

REVIEW
The film is not only a story about two guys that fall in love but also a portrait of celebrity loneliness. Michael Douglas and Matt Damon performances were great and definitely a reason why you shoud watch the film! It has a good pace, interesting yet simple strory, you get to know the characters, atmosphere, costume, make-up and cinematography are excellent. Maybe there could have been more music but otherwise it's very stylish, entertaining and watchable film. 4/5
