Watch Collateral Beauty For Free

Please don't spend money on this.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I read a few of the reviews on here, some raves and some pans. It is obvious that this is one of those films that jars you one way or the other. Some are over the moon with the emotional connection of the movie. Others don't connect to it at all. I am of the former, over the moon. I watched it on a plane and found myself in tears by the end, but because I felt hope, absolute unadulterated hope. It's not about death, though some have said as much. It's not about money or acting or any of that. It's about life and the reason to go on, irrespective of what tragedy we face or what difficulty we're going through. It's about finding purpose in a seemingly purposeless world. I think some people see the all-star cast and expect something more that a character driven idea, but the best films connect with their viewers and nothing more. This film jarred me out of myself and made me think that faith in the universe is not such a bad idea. I won't disparage those that didn't get it/connect to it or the jaded viewers who think a deeply emotional film is innately laced with cheese. I will only say that very few films make you think and this one did all that and more.

I ended up watching this by accident. There was nothing on tv, Good Will Hunting was nearly over, but this had just started, 3 mins in. I had seen an ad for this before and thought it looked contrived and cliche. But the ads don't do it justice, it took me completely by surprise! It is a really beautiful story about a Father grieving for the death of his daughter. A storyline done before but I have never seen another film or book approach it in this way, it is incredibly uplifting and engaging. Be prepared to cry as it is emotional (and I hate to cry at films but you cant help but cry at this!) The acting was great, perfectly cast, the music added to the story without distracting from it, and cinematography was beautiful, gorgeous shots of New York. I highly recommend! This should have gotten more credit, a really wonderful gem.

This movie was a complete surprise in that I didn't expect to love it. Not long into it I figured out the hook, but it was all well done and completely worth my time. Beautiful piece of artwork. Cathartic, poignant, emotional. Well done.

There are many negative reviews of this movie. Things like screenplay and some other things I do not quite understand or even care about. The movie does hit the mark in that it really stirs your thoughts and emotions. I watched this movie over 2 months ago, and I cannot tell you how many times I have caught myself thinking about the movie! There are layers after layers. What a fantastic film! If you want something all processed and chewed up for you, then this probably isn't for you. If you want a story that makes you evaluate your own life, and makes you think about your own circumstances (without providing answers I might add) this is perfect. The answers are yours to find and are not included in the movie btw. Lastly, the acting: Smith, Norton, Pena, and Knightly, wow! Excellent! Smith however was simply astonishing. I really felt for him throughout the movie. I know he was acting, but I sincerely wanted to reach into the screen and give that poor man a hug. Watch this movie. Thank me later.
