The film has a great script, engaging characters, a bit of pathos and it's a love story. What could go wrong? Well, very little in fact. It draws you in, although the denouement is telegraphed, and you identify with the two leads. My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. You've guessed it; I recommend it. Mind you, I was left wondering why she didn't write. My comment explained in the film.

I had seen this film on Netflix and loved it so much I decided to buy a copy and have already watched it again. It’s a beautiful story of undying love between a married couple and coping with dementia. I would highly recommend it.

Lovely, gentle, sad, funny, thought provoking film on a couple/family life when Dementia has reared its ugly head. Well worth watching as has some scenes which people with Dementia in their family could relate too. Beautiful, calm ending.

Prior to watching "The Notebook," I was not familiar with the work of the actress Rachel McAdams. She made an indelible impression by sustaining an outstanding performance in this film. Her character Allie is the pivotal role in the film, as she must make the crucial romantic decision on which the story turns. There are few performers capable of evolving the complexity of characterization as achieved by Rachel McAdams. The film recreated effectively the world of the 1940s in America, including the parental pressure exerted by the well-to-do family of Allie on whether to allow their daughter to pursue a young man from the other side of the tracks. As played by Ryan Gosling, the character of Noah could have revealed more emotional layers. There was only one scene in the film where he really showed that there was something at stake in his love for Allie. He apparently wrote her a passionate letter every day for a year. Especially in the film's early scenes, Gosling could have shown more of the passion. The other cast members were outstanding, including James Garner and Gena Rowlands in the parallel story. In the two plots, "The Notebook" merits comparison with another outstanding romantic film, "The Bridges of Madison County." As the two subplots of "The Notebook" come together, one of the key characters is Allie's mother. As always, Joan Allen delivers a convincing and complete character portrayal, as the well-intentioned, but conflicted mother. In one of the most moving scenes in the film, the mother opens up to the daughter and tells her story of youthful love and a fateful choice similar to the one Allie herself must face. My favorite scene in the film: a wonderful sequence where Noah and Allie are in a boat in the backwaters of South Carolina. The waterway is simply filled with white geese. It is a stunning and picturesque moment, among many in this well-crafted film. If there is such a spot in South Carolina, then I want to go there!Read full review
