It’s soon clear that Diaz’s struggles up the mountainside, carrying not only a rucksack but also a weighty tripod, will be rewarded by some stunning images, and Days is indeed a lovely thing to behold, whether Diaz is training his lens on a spider’s web or recording, via drone, the spectacular mountain scenery of fall and early winter.

The line is spoken twice in the film: once in the middle of the film, by Jennifer Cavalleri (MacGraw's character), when Oliver Barrett (O'Neal) apologizes to her for his anger and as the last line of the film, by Oliver, when his father says "I'm sorry" after learning of Jennifer's death.
