In the spirit of Ghost and Birth, Hannah and Benjamin (Lili Taylor, Six Feet Under and David Duchovny, The X-Files) are a happily married couple whose love is tested in ways they never could have imagined in this touching supernatural drama. But when Hannah is killed in a car accident, the couple's strong bond may be responsible for an unusual twist of fate that keeps their love alive -- at the expense of their daughter (Olivia Thirlby, Juno).

« Uneven and unsatisfying »

This film is one of those that takes itself too seriously and in so doing ceases to remember that movies are first and foremost about entertainment. If you want to show you have depth become a swimming pool and if you want to send a message go to Western Union.

It began with a good idea, promised to deal with real human emotions and then became a disappointing cliche of PC whining, absurd plot resolutions and self-indulgence. Ultimately the emptiness of the plot is not the actor's faults, but rather that of the preachy and simple minded writer.

Save your nickel for something worth buying. .:. Rating: 2 / 5

 

« Movie review »

A somewhat trite storyline, but done really well, with no gratuitous sensuality! Ending may be a surprise, depending on how many movies of this type one has watched! .:. Rating: 5 / 5

 

« Very well acted »

I am rather surprised at the reviews. I thought the acting was completely solid. You knew when it was the mother and when it was the daughter. I must admit I was nervous about the couple consummating since it was known beforehand that the girl would come back to inhabit the body but other than that it was great. Although it is reminiscent of Freaky Friday it is smarter. I truly enjoyed the movie. .:. Rating: 5 / 5
