The music was very beautiful. Juliet Stevenson is a great actor. It was slow at times. It was amusing and sad at the same time. Was this review helpful? Yes

The late, great Anthony Minghella (Oscar winner for The English Patient) wrote and directed this golden film about learning to let go and move on. One wonders why Alan Rickman is always cast as a villain because he is absolutely wonderful as the droll romantic lead who comes back from the dead to gently coax his former lover, the marvelous Juliet Stevenson, back into the world of the living when she cannot get past her grief over losing him.
My all time favorite film. Witty, touching, funny, and sweet. A "little" film that sparkles like a diamond, the kind of film that contemporary audiences, sadly, just don't seem capable of comprehending. Was this review helpful? Yes

This movie can be a transformative healing experience if you have suffered loss and/or bereavement. Juliet bravely portrays the depth and strength of emotions catalyzed by the process of grieving. Hopeful and life affirming story. Was this review helpful? Yes

My second time trhough, showing it to a friend this time (who hadn't lost a loved one like I have). We both liked it. A little slow at times, I agree, but the acting kept it going, especially Juliet Stevenson, whose facial expressions were fascinating. Was this review helpful? Yes

The manufacturer's of this movie categorize this as a romantic comedy. I don't find this story line funny. It is not romantic to be tormented by a ghost. I did not find this movie a romantic comedy. Was this review helpful? Yes

Really had a hard time with this movie. Couldn't get past the first 30 minutes for the hazy, artsiness. Promised myself I'd get back to it, but it sat on my shelf for weeks. Was disappointed that the story didn't grab me and that the lead actress was terribly unattractive. Sorry. Was this review helpful? Yes

I enjoyed this movie even though it didn't really make much sense. The relationships were fun and the acting was very good. It was sometimes touching and funny, too. There were a couple of scenes featuring a rat which didn't please me but other than that, nothing objectionable. Was this review helpful? Yes

Sad but great flick. Rickman is incredible as always. The writing on this is brilliant. Juliet Stevenson is wonderful, but it really bugged me how when she was crying she'd just let the tears hang on the tip of her nose. For gawd's sake! I kept waiting for them to fall, which was really distracting. I also would have liked to get more about what happened to Jamie at the end. But it's worth watching just for the scene where they sing. Lovely. Was this review helpful? Yes

I expected to like this movie a lot, because I really like Alan Rickman, who plays the male lead. Juliet Stevenson is fine, but I think she was overly emotional in some scenes. The supporting cast is great, but since so much of the time is spent on the main characters, I found myself bored. Was this review helpful? Yes
