The audio was all over the place and so much unnecessary jazz. I kept having to turn it up and down. Not that it was worth watching anyway. At no point does anything realistic happen. The motives of the characters make no sense. The dialog is nonsense

Absolutely heart wrenching and beautiful story. It is raw, honest, and refreshingly real. I can never get through this movie without crying. I always know how it will end, but can't help but hope for both main characters that the inevitable will somehow change.

It's my all time favorite movie, even still to this date. Even films today don't hold a candle to Leaving Las Vegas.
