Watch Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her For Free

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Blistering performances.

This was okay, I can't fault any of the performances and the 5 (loosely) interconnected stories are well written, imaginative (in a creative writing type way) and interesting however it still failed to grab me on any level or leave a lasting impression.The vignettes all deal with dramatic developments in the lives of a diverse group of women, most of whom are lonely and or unhappy. All the performances are fantastic and at times raw opening with Glenn Close as a doctor looking after her invalid mother, Holly Hunter as a bank manager dealing with an unplanned pregnancy and an observant street woman, Kathy Baker as a single mother debating a romance with a new neighbour, Calista Flockhart is a tarot reader whose girlfriend is dying of cancer and police detective Amy Brenneman examines her loneliness when her blind sister Cameron Diaz begins dating.There are some beautifully shot scenes here especially the outdoor ones although I was distracted by the random black cloudiness that appeared at the top of the screen from time to time. Like most people I thought there was something wrong with my copy of the movie. Not sure what that was supposed to signify.I also think this could have benefited from more of an arc tying all the stories together (like the suicide woman) as it was I failed to see any connection. 5/31/15

The cable company just added another one of those lower-tier free-movie channels, and it aired this gem. It caught my eye briefly when I spotted several lesser actors from the mid-90's. Like the dwarf from Seinfeld. The girlfriend in Rain Man. The wife from Picket Fences who always looked ready to burst into tears for no reason. Ally Mc Beal, as sickly-looking as ever. Along with some bigger names like Holly Hunter (in her younger, hotter days) and Cameron Diaz. And Glenn Close as an abortionist? Well, you can't win 'em all.This is your typical free-movie channel movie. Just totally pointless. You wait and wait for the theme to become clear, and it just never does. The guy who works at the bank got some action in two parts of the movie. I guess that's something.Wikipedia was just as confused about this movie as I was, so I came here. The reviews that try to portray this as something of value, are laughable.

This was a touching film that dealt with a few womens lives. I thought the acting in the film was great. The film kept me interested most of the time. I wanted to see how everything turned out for all of them. I would watch this again sometime. I'm pretty sure I missed a few things.

This is a wonderful film. A surprise that I found in a corner of the video shop. Is is well acted and directed, with good rythm, and with characters that are very well sketched. It shows how difficult it is to love, to show love, to keep it going, for women that live in the present world. Responsible, intelligent, working women, that try to find an answer to their crave for love and understanding.
