What they say
"...The best performance ... comes from Andrew Garfield
"...The best performance in the film comes from Andrew Garfield as the lovestruck Anton. Clearly besotted with Valentina, he is deeply jealous of Tony and gives a dazzling performance swooning between giddy excitement and crushed disappointment..."
"...Garfield is especially charming..."
"... Troyer, Cole, and Garfield - are perfectly adequate in their roles, and sometimes charming (especially Garfield)..."
"...believable sparks with the boyish Garfield..."
"...Cole, a young fashion model blessed with ethereal beauty, strikes believable sparks with the boyish Garfield (who was so good in 2007's "Boy A")..."
