What the press would say:

Liv Tyler gives an indisputable Oscar-worthy performance as Jennifer. Never has such a profound role been fulfilled in a romantic drama since Vivien Leigh as Scarlet O’Hara. This is certainly Tyler’s role of a lifetime! This film is bound to bring its audience to tears with Tyler’s impeccable ability to move and captivate the viewers. Glenn Close’s role as Grace Simonton is passionate and believable. The audience actually feels comfort as her wisdom exudes through her character. This is truly Close’s big finish as she perfects this character in every way imaginable. This story is Oscar worthy from its Writing to it’s Costume Design. Not to mention, 'Letters' is impeccable, as DiCaprio graces it with his old fashioned sense of charisma and eloquence.
