Movie Description
While enjoying a romantic picnic in the English countryside, Joe (Daniel Craig) and Claire (Samantha Morton) become party to a tragic accident involving a hot air balloon. Haunted by the incident, and guilt-stricken that he wasn't able to do more, Joe begins to distance himself from Claire. But more disturbing is the behavior of Jed (Rhys Ifans), another stranger who lent a hand during the accident and begins stalking Joe. At first, Joe thinks that Jed is just suffering from post-traumatic stress and needs to talk about what they've been through together. But with each encounter, as Jed admonishes Joe to let go and admit his feelings, Joe feels more and more uneasy, confused and irritated. This psychological thriller from director Roger Michell (NOTTING HILL) explores how one experience can affect many people in different ways while also examining the subtleties of love and relationships. Craig is superb as Joe, a natural-born leader and rational college professor whose life is turned upside down both by his inability to prevent the accident, and by his interactions with Jed. Ifans is super creepy as the disturbed stalker, a far cry from his turn as the lovable goof Spike in NOTTING HILL.
Industry Reviews
"[A] chillingly intense psychological thriller....Spellbinding."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (11/11/2004)
"Daniel Craig here gives a thrillingly physical performance, embodying a taut, contracting musculature of thoughtful warmth and explosive self-pity."
Sight and Sound - Jessica Winter (11/01/2004)
"[A] serious movie about love, principally its petty cruelties and monstrous disguises."
New York Times - Manohla Dargis (10/29/2004)
"The movie dares to focus alternately on rationality and the inexplicable, fate and random events, the mundane and the catastrophic. In short, it is complex and psychologically probing....A drama with plenty of twists..."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (10/26/2004)
"[S]mart, spooky and elegant....ENDURING LOVE is an intellectual investigation of love from three equally frustrating perspectives."
Los Angeles Times - Carina Chocano (10/29/2004)
"What blows us away is the power of Ifans' moist puppy eyes and chilling smile as a true believer undeterred by reality."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (11/05/2004)
