The cast is excellent - Penelope Cruz and Emile Hirsch are brilliant as the pair of lovers, united in part by their seemingly obsessive need for a child - part of the film focuses on their efforts in that area. The supporting cast are pretty good as well. I'm not a fan of romantic movies, so perhaps that is why I found it too long.
