5.0 out of 5 stars for movie sophisticates only, July 18, 2000

By

Gary R. Lemons (Scottsdale, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Felicia's Journey [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I really think this is one of the best movies to come along in years. It is mysterious, creepy, and alarming but somehow it is also funny, endearing, and charming. How did the director combine so many different moods in one movie? This movie is a character development and mood type movie, not a plot type, so don't expect your typical American blood and guts killer type movie! Many people will not like this movie because they are so conditioned to nonstop action. This movie gives you time to reflect and enjoy the intriguing vivuals and eerie sound track. I loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great film!, July 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Felicia's Journey (DVD)

This film was beautifully made, and the music is beautiful, too. Director Atom Egoyan's twist of the TV chef mother really adds some cinematic taste to the movie, though it does seem to confuse the story and the formation of Hilditch's personality. The ending is good. Personally, I think it is better than in the book. Bob Hoskins' performance is superb! This movie is a must-see only for his performance. I wonder why he was not even nominated for the Oscar. This reminds me of another mystery in 1987 when Hoskins swept almost every award with his performance in Neil Jordan's "Mona Lisa", then lost in the Oscar to Paul Newman's "The Color of Money"? Elaine Cassidy (Felicia) is a novice in film making, but surely not a novice in acting. She is great in the movie, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Felicias Journey - The Movie, June 12, 2009

By

Martha A. Bailey - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Felicia's Journey (DVD)

Well, I have to say, I watched this movie in a rather unusual way. A few weeks ago, on TV, I saw the very ending (about the last 5 minutes) and I thought, "Egad, what IS this movie about?" Well, now I just finished watching it again only this time,from the beginning. (I just happened upon it while channel surfing.)

I have to say Hoskins is brilliant. I can't imagine any other actor doing any better than he in this role. You are convinced he is totally "off the track" as you see him preparing those impressive convoluted meals while watching hid dead mother's cooking show re-runs.

As he manipulates the turkey skin and pierces the trussing needle through the rack of lamb there is no doubt he is full of hate and revulsion for his mother but also filled with an obsession about her for which he has little control.

He is at once, menacing, charming and pathetic and his inner demons are juxtaposed alongside Elaine Cassidy's character's innocence and childlike trusting nature.

I thought the movie was very well done, VERY unusual and a suspenseful thriller in a sort of Hitchcock genre but without the blood and gore.

This is a movie in the Hitchcock style, this time without gore, but with subtle terror.

Some of the scenes are homages to the master, but this does not detract from... Read more
