About Roy An excellent movie. I was particularly impressed by the acting from Emily Mortimer.
As for the other reviews, I don't understand why people find it necessary to go over the plot in detail. That is not a review, it is a Synopsis.
Also, I feel like everyone missed the point with the Roy character. It was subtle. Of course he was supposed to be the stereotypical unsophisticated tourist, goody-goody church guy from Iowa. This was the source of their marital problems since his wife Jessie had a wild past, settled with him, but still felt the yearnings for adventure. We, and she, are surprised to learn later, when they are on the run, that he has much more depth, brains, and savvy and that maybe he just chooses to be happy, fascinated with trains, and to live a simpler existence with his Hardware store in Iowa. When Jessie recounts their first meeting in the hospital and him making the dopey doughnut statement, you just think of him as kind of simple. At the end, after we find out that he is really not, we learn that he meant the statement as a silly joke to cheer her up - this was pointed to us, the audience. Roy's underlayers are kept subtle in the movie. She has a revelation about him and their life together at the end. She knows that she has had enough adventure and now wants to settle down with her ideal guy and finally have kids. Emily Mortimer says so much with her subtle expressions.
