The Time Traveler's Wife (Blu-ray)

The film is based on the first novel by Audrey Niffenegger who by her own admission has not and will not watch the film as she would find it too disturbing. The good news is she is now writing her second novel that I'm sure will make into an equally fine and thought provoking film.
This is a film that will be going straight into my collection and is one of the finest narrative stories I have experienced, wonderfully acted and wonderfully directed with a brilliant supporting cast including Stephen Tobolowsky who plays a rather hard to convince Dr. Kendrick who tries to treat Henry for his "chrono genetic disorder"
