4.0 out of 5 stars A Heart Touching Story, December 18, 2000

This review is from: Go Now [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Go Now" is one of those foreign film love stories that'll tug at your heart strings the moment you realize the main character's fate. Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty) stars as Scottish soccer player Nick Cameron, who, when just upon reaching the apex of his full athletic potential, is suddenly and gradually stricken with Multiple Sclerosis. As Nick's physical condition worsens, it is up to his girlfriend Karen (Juliet Aubrey) to help Nick see his way through his difficult struggle. Karen is urged at the hands of her best friend to leave Nick, but she (Karen) feels she needs to be around him to be of help and for added companionship. At the same time, Karen feels she is missing out sexually, so she is seeing someone else in the meantime to satisfy her needs in this department. Still, she feels Nick needs her, who, because he feels that Karen feels sorry for him, Nick urges her to leave him, but she refuses. "Go Now" is a heart-warming story that'll possibly bring a tear to your eye. The main problem with this picture is that it's extermely short, at under an hour-and-a-half long. Despite this minor inconvenience, "Go Now is a must-have film to add to your video collection!

4.0 out of 5 stars Reality bites, August 19, 1999

By 

[e-mail] (Lake Geneva,Wi) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Go Now [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Typical of european films Go Now takes a very small slice of life and puts it under a microscope. Here a working class couple are shown dealing-or not-with the everyday issues which arise when he is stricken with ms. The film accuratly reveals the impact of the disease process on every aspect of the couple's life. The acting is powerful and truthful. The subtext reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the human spirit when challenged by life altering circumstances.

4.0 out of 5 stars accurate depiction of the emotional upheaval, June 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Go Now [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Altho a little hard to understand, due to the strong accents, it is an accurate depiction of the trauma and emotional upheaval of being diagnosed with a chronic and unpredictable disease--from one who has walked in his shoes. It touched my heart and soul.
