| Wanna See Sean Penn In A John Cassavetes Film? Here it is. (by Niro) |
| Some of the people who "review" flicks here continually amaze me with their complete lack of film knowledge.When I heard an interview with the always-extraordinary Sean Penn, in which he said he was upset that so few people had seen what he considers to be his best work: this film and the excellent "At Close Range," I knew that I had to catch this.Then, finding that it was based on an unproduced John Cassavetes script, I was all the more eager.That final statement should scare off anyone who expected a happy, romantic Hollywood film, as they clearly haven't seen any of <more> |
| Excellent Film! Hope this commentary is not a 'spoiler'! (by capajawebb) |
| It seems as if, as I read through other comments, that many people either do not understand the film or have not paid attention to what is going on in the story. I've read one that stated something along the lines of, "How could a man go so insane that he's locked up for ten years because he's mad about another man beating his wife?!"If one pays attention to the context clues, it is apparent that Eddie has a history of mental illness. The story does not begin with the opening scene. You have to pay attention to the film's details and its allusions to pre-existing <more> |
| She IS wonderful (by JulianL) |
| What a wonderful film. Crazy, Violent, Funny... just chill out and ENJOY! |
| Truly Lovely (by breacain) |
| I didn't know what to expect from this film, but whatever I got is about ten times better than whatever I was expecting, if that makes sense.The characters are so likable. And the acting is just phenomenal. There were several scenes I had to back up and watch again just because some of the layers of small gestures and expressions and emotional choices are so genius, I just couldn't believe how thoughtfully turned out it all was. Hint: Watch Penn's face when he is asking his tired, pregnant wife to put on heels and a nice dress for going out. Men, that is how you get your woman to <more> |
| Amazingly touching tribute/gesture to john Cassavetes (by eran_aviad) |
| I didn't know what to expect of this movie, being a John Cassavetes fan. it was very surprising to find that this is in fact a tribute to Cassavetes Sr. Sean Penn is brilliant and actually seemed to be acting it the way John would have. same goes for Robin Wright, who seems to be acting Gena Rowlands style.all in all i think this is a must see for John Cassvetes fans who crave too see what he would have done next, if he had the chance. this film has a lot of heart, and Cassavetes Sr. fingerprints all over it.thanks to Nick for this loving tribute to his father. a very underrated film. |
| utterly compelling (by Aregie) |
| From reading these reviews, one can clearly see this is a film that polarizes viewers. Frankly, at first, I almost dismissed it because of the violence and hopelessness. But the acting in this tragicomedy is so utterly compelling, the pathos so real that I couldn't stop watching, and the spot-on dialogue kept me caught up in the story. The humour was not just icing on the cake, but it infused some credible lightness into this heavy tale. John Travolta's line to his nine-year old daughter, "..shut up and drink your beer!" would not have worked in a lesser film, but it was <more> |
| Great, crazy movie! Nick is following in his fathers footsteps. (by ebsbel) |
| Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn fall in love, but their lives are everything but stable. Sean Penn is sent to jail for a number of years and when he is released he returns to his love Robin Wright Penn. She is now married to John Travolta and they have several kids. Normally this kind of family business would take months or even years to solve, but these crazy people and kids settle everything in one day. This means emotions, actions and dialog concentrated to the very essence of these peoples lives. Quite fascinating to watch and reminding of the way director Nick Cassavetes' father John <more> |
| The greatest love story ever told sort of (by website-8) |
| I find this one of the most moving stories because it is not a frolic through the daisies, walking along the beach and live happily ever after stories. The leading man is not the "prince charming" that it is rumored most women seek. The heroine is not the perfect girl-next-door sweetheart that has men lining up for a dance. Their lives are not enviable. Their relationship is not coveted. I can't even say that the characters are admirable or likable. In fact some might find them contemptuous. However, it is a story about love that doesn't shy away from a reality of true love <more> |
| She's So Lovely Rocks! (by cutoutmytongue) |
| I have seen She's So Lovely all the way through, and several times at that. As "thesnowleopard" clearly states he/she did not watch the entire film and therefore has no right to comment.She's So Lovely has a true independent spirit, great acting and an original story. All of which should be appreciated by any student of film. Sean Penn gives an awesome performance as an incredibly unique character who is at once sweet and frightening made humorous by the same characteristics which are within us all. And the fury offered by John Travolta causes the audience to roll with <more> |
