Mjeteconer Just perfect...
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Mojomal-673-600857 I saw this film a dozen times one summer when it beguiled me with it gentle tempo and wonderful performances.The perplexed midlife of Jeff Goldblums insurance salesman and the fragile childlike wonder of Anne Heches'character set up a beautiful platform for the characters to develop.The lead actors give some of their best performances of their careers, Heche in particular captures kind a hopefulness reserved for people who have learned to expect little from life.As the audience we know Goldblum isn't Auggie Rose from the first scene and the because of the fragility Heche brings to her character, the tension of the relationship grows perfectly through the film.Without giving a deeper summary of the plot and to avoid spoilers, I will simply say the film is worth seeing just for it characters and performances the actors give to bring those characters to life.A beautiful and unexpected gem - Highly Recommended.
AlanBryan2112 Not every movie needs blazing guns or Special FX. This touching film is very good. Also know as Beyond Suspicion, Auggie Rose is a character study that could almost be a classic Twilight Zone episode. I recommend this for serious film fans. Anne Heche and Jeff Goldblum are very good. All the actors are top notch.---alan
Falcon Eddy Well this was the biggest surprise in movies so far this year, except that A.I. was a complete waste of celluloid. The movie features a GREAT story line, and it is easy to become immersed in the characters. Although I usually enjoy Jeff Goldblum (and enjoyed him here as well,...) I thought he was mis-cast and was not able to emote enough. Another acor may have neen a better choice. Over all, it was surprisingly well thought out...with a nice little twist or two at the end, and wonderfully filmed as well. I thought this was the best performance I have ever seen from Anne Heche. For film lovers everywhere, a must see.
Jay Harris Using a plot line similiar to one in one of Cornell Woolrich`s short stories a fine literate screenplay was written.The acting by Jeff Goldblum is superior,as he finds himself in very peculiar crossroads in his life. I hate giving to much of the story away but you will stay transfixed as the screen play unfoldsAnother writer compared this to American Beauty, This is far better, I did not like any one in American Beauty & could care less for any of them In Auggie Rose I liked everyone, even Anne Heche, who is not what I call a great actress, she handles herself very credibly, as all the rest of the cast. Good production values This film is fine entertainment all the way & no explosions or special effects to ruin it. The music score also is quite goodmy rating is ***1/2 It could have moved a bit faster. as always jay harris
