With the glut of sickeningly sweet and stupid romantic comedies that have flooded theaters over the past few years, it’s absolutely delightful to sit down with a film that reminds us what real emotions can be between two believable adult characters. The film stars the always enjoyable Patricia Clarkson as Juliette Grant, the wife of a professor who goes to Cairo to meet with her husband. When he is delayed getting to her, his friend Tareq (Alexander Siddig) offers to show her around the ancient city. The story unfolds slowly, but the strong acting of the two leads makes the time fly by as you try to guess what will happen as we watch them fall in love.
