Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Steineded How sad is this?

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

texxas-1 I watched this film about 6 years ago when I was Felicia's age, and I have never seen anything so depressing. I felt so down after watching this horrible film and I hated all men. Felicia's journey totally makes you see how scummy some men can be and I'm not talking about the old man that tried to kill her, I mean the lowlife that slept with her, promised to keep in touch then doesn't. If you're going to use and abuse a 17 year old girl at least have the decency not to knock her up in a country where abortion is illegal! Then of course there was the user's horrible mother who was trying to keep Felicia away from him, then there was Felicia's killer friend who sees the user shes looking for but doesn't tell Felicia, at one point they all end up in the same pub together but he says nothing hoping Felicia wont see. It was so depressing. The only decent thing the killer does is get Felicia the abortion. Felicia never does get reunited with the user who knocked her up which makes it even more depressing, even though by the end of the film shes over him.

kenjha A middle-aged man whose mother was a TV chef works for a catering company but leads a secret life as a serial killer. There should be a law requiring Great Britain to add subtitles to any film with Hoskins before it can be exported to the unsuspecting masses expecting the spoken language to be English. Hoskins is a pretty good actor but the language he speaks is not English. The pacing is very deliberate, with too much screen time devoted to mundane actions like driving and walking. Little is revealed about the psyche of a serial killer. The ending is ridiculous. Egoyan has made a number of intriguing films, but this is not one of his better efforts.

paul2001sw-1 Atom Egoyan's film, 'Felicia's Journey', is set in the late 1980s; but like so much of writer Willaim Trevor's work, it feels set in an older time. Bob Hoskins' character lives under the shadow of the memory of his monstrous mother, a 1950s TV cook; but the film's other themes also appear dated: an Ireland in the continued grip of Catholic insularity, first generation Jamacian-British immigrants, even Birmigham as a manufacturing centre; all of these seem subjects that belong to another time. And while Egoyan assembles a visually satisfying picture of this world, the soundtrack is sometimes intrusive and the plot is stymied by the fact that Hoskins' character is just too odd to attract the sympathy necessary to balance that which the viewer naturally has for the eponymous Felicia. Overall, it has the feeling of a short story padded out to make a full-length film; although there's a nice atmosphere of Gothic horror in the climax. Still, if you haven't seen it, you'd be better watching 'The Sweet Hereafter', Egoyan's finest film.

Paulo Matsui (paulomatsui) Though very well conducted, this is a very sad movie. With weird characters and surreal situations, it keeps you interested on their lives and where (and how) this all going to develop along the flick. Elaine Cassidy as Felicia is superbly cute. You would remember her from Alejandro Amenabar's "The others"; side with Nicole Kidman - Elaine played the "mute girl" Lydia. Bob Hoskins is good as ever. Quite convincing and intense. Their backgrounds are suggested to the viewer more than shown on screen. But even with all this good elements together, it's something I would NOT recommend watching if you're on a bad mood day.
