To me, this movie is perfection.
best movie i've ever seen.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
I wish I could have the hour and a half of my life back that I wasted on watching this film. When my wife and I picked this up at Blockbuster( she wanted to rent it, not me) I thought it might be decent with the actors in it. I like Tim Roth and Margot Kidder and Andie Mcdowell, just not in this film. Tim Roth's part is not big enough, Andie Mcdowell is just OK in this, and Margot Kidder is HORRIBLE in this film. She was good in the Superman movies but you wouldn't know that from this film. It was painful to watch her performance. Please save yourself and do not waste your time with this film. If you want to see Tim Roth in something good watch ROBROY. He is excellent in that.
If you are looking for a thriller this isn't for you.I think this movie fit better into "dramatic love story" category.The acting is good, I really liked the sadness that Andy McDowell put into her character: a lovable woman that is trying to recover from a bad marriage ended with the death of her husband.The husband (Tim Roth) was a good and caring man but sad experiences turned him into an alcoholic and so their marriage became a sad and intolerable relationship. Then he died in a car wreck.I found beautiful the opening shot, that shows a long flight above woods, trees, lakes, and rivers .. and then gradually get more zoomed until you can see a smashed car with a dead man inside.The movie is very subtle in its tones and I liked the set design, the house and the various characters.In this story ghosts have a central part but, despite that, it isn't exactly a ghost story; I'd call this a love story featuring some ghosts.If they presented the movie as a love story I'd give it a 6 or 7, but all was telling me that this was a thriller, which it isn't, so I gave it 5.Guido
This flick was intended to be a fantasy and horror work and it became a Harlequin Romance .How can a director do such a thing with an actor like Tim Roth?Anyway Roth is a ghost and he is not given a single chance to shine.Samuel LE Bihan's character is the straight handsome gentle -and of course clever-man who loves the heroine's children and who urges her to pick up the pieces and to give them a chance.When the movie tries to be "scary", it uses all the hackneyed tricks which even the worst directing drudges would not dare :"I've just talked to your son/-But my son is dead " here's the "terrifying "dialog; The "old" colleague (Margot Kidder!) initiating McDowell to spiritualism is also ridiculous.The last scene takes the biscuit,with its "moving" last sign ,naturally filmed in slow motion.If you want to see a movie which tackles almost the same subject and brilliantly succeeds ,take FRançois Ozon's "Sous le Sable" starring Charlotte Rampling.(International title:"Under the Sand" )
I took this movie out of the library free, so at least I didn't waste any money. The acting of all characters was unbelievable. It made me feel it was the directors' first directing job. There are a lot of loose ends that are not explained but by reading the reviews on this web site I now understand things better. Thank you IMDb. I know I did not fall asleep during the movie but that was how I felt since it seemed I missed something. It is not the worst movie I have seen but I definitely could have used the time in a more rewarding way. For some reason I missed picking up on the fact that the husband was an abusive alcoholic. Also whenever the two main characters were together I felt uncomfortable because it was embarrassing to watch such bad acting.
