We need to talk

'I'm going to change all of the names and some of the facts.'

Narrated by present-day Will, intercutting present day conversations between Maya an Will, the story is told in flashback.

Will's ambition was to become president of the United States, and he begins his journey by leaving his girl (Emily) and his home to work on the Clinton campaign in New York.

In New York he meets first copy girl April and then journalist Summer. Over the years before the birth of his daughter he declares his love for each of these women, but which one will become wife and mother to the pair?

With a deep background of 90s politics, Definitely Maybe is the story of a series of relationships that definitely might be true love. Will's search for happiness takes place as he finds his own place in life.

The film-makers include solid, experienced actors including Kevin Kline who sucks the marrow of his role as a drunken, debauching author. Definitely Maybe has the satisfying unity of vision that comes from a writer-director.

A pleasure to watch -- a film that tells us in an entertaining and non-didactic way about fundamental human concerns -- finding the place where, and people with whom we belong.
