I liked "Truly, Madly, Deeply," very, very much (though I hated the young love interest). Alan Rickman was sensational and the emotional impact of the film was intense.
The other Minghella film I saw was "The English Patient," which was so over the top----it lost me when the Indian hunk with the butt length hair appeared for no discernible reason---it made me laugh. It made my "worst film" list for that year.
Understandably, I was unsure of what to expect. Well, it IS long...but my interest, my KEEN interest, was held for the almost 3 hours.
Sure, there were huge holes in the story and some acting was over-the-top...but the cast is magnificent, most of the acting is superb, and the epic story holds well together.
At some point, a good film becomes like a friend: you want to overlook faults and concentrate on strengths. This film is NOT what I expected, i.e. a Civil War soap-opera. Rather, it is an action film coupled to a love story. Both are handled well---very well.
