I'm Yours

I’m Yours After a few minutes I realized that the film was very familiar. I had seen it at the Toronto Film Festival. I didn’t even mind seeing it again. I am always delighted to see a good Canadian production. This is a road trip theme about a young man and woman trying to sort out personal problems. The acting is superb and it is a delightful experience. Robert is a successful stockbroker in New York. He is turning 30 and obviously is facing a middle life crisis. He meets Daphne at a bar. She is so pretty and the two hit it off. In fact they have wild sex on the first evening. (much of it is shown) Daphne takes Robert’s satchel and tells him he has to come home with her to North Bay at which time she will return his satchel. They both have secrets which become unveiled on the road trip. He is quiet and often sullen. She is perky and full of personality. She has a wild streak in her that allows her to act in a spontaneous way. The road trip is fun in a lot of ways. They have problems with his car and meet unusual people along the way. If you have ever been to North Bay you know that the scenery is spectacular. The cinematography offers a spiritual view of nature. Robert and Daphne begin to sort out their secrets and problems. It is very touching. Rossif Sutherland plays the part of Robert. Karine Vanesse is a well known Canadian actor and director. She is so appealing on the screen and a delight to watch. I found the film very refreshing. It was an interesting spiritual journey as well as a road trip. I did question why she never changed her clothes or had a suitcase.
