I didn't know much about this movie when I bought it on DVD the other day. I didn't know any of the actors in it nor did I know the director, so I guess it's fair to say that "The clean slate" was in use.
The movies opening was not very reassuring, as I normally don't like the present day narrator style, where the narrator is guiding us through an otherwise chronological story that is being played out in the past. But in a matter of minutes I had forgotten all about that, and just enjoyed this romantic drama. I liked the way everything was told in a straightforward way, not trying to only hint at things, but simply stating the facts. I liked that the feelings portrayed were so tangible and real that I had no problem relating to them. But there is no doubt in my mind that what really carries the movie through is the actors headed by Rena Owen and Dean O'Gorman who gave stunning and very moving performances. I also really enjoyed the music, and especially the song "Another You" struck a nerve with me.
So in conclusion I would have to say that to me "When Love Comes" was a very pleasant surprise.
