4.0 out of 5 stars
A Wonderful Film,
By A Customer
This review is from: I'm Losing You [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I rented this film on a whim while looking around a video store. I was hooked from the first scene on. The story centers around a television producer who has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer and his family. His adopted daughter is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. His son a frustrated actor with a young daughter and a self-destructive ex-wife, becomes involved with an HIV-Positive woman. The film is basicaly about death and redemption. The story is beautifully written and the acting is superb. The standouts are Frank Langella who plays the dying father, Rosanna Arquette as his troubled daughter, and Andrew McCarthy (who goes deeper than i've ever seen him go in this film and shows just what a superb acter he is.)as his son Bertie. This film is a deeply felt film and should appeal to anyone who appreciates great writing and acting.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I'm Losing You (DVD)
First of all I only purchased this movie because Norman Reedus was listed on Cast. Don't bother with this if that's a reason you may want to view this movie as he appears for one very short scene as an angry, immature lover. It's otherwise a good story about a man diagnosed with Cancer, and his "semi-dysfunctional" family. Even though each character type was interesting, as was their way of dealing with Cancer in the family - this movie either needed just a little more time or less characters. There are some amusing scenes, some emotional (but not tear-jerking) elements; another reason not to bother with this movie is if you want to get a feeling of how it is to deal with Cancer in the family. Not one of the better movies I've seen, especially for one that has a cast of actors I usually enjoy much more.

This movie will stay with you,
By Me (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I'm Losing You (DVD)
This is a movie about loss and love and tragedy and hope. The characters are well crafted and especially Andrew McCarthy's and Rosanna Arquette's acting is absolute brilliance. "I'm Losing You" leaves you with the wish of staying with these characters, of finding out how their lives continue and if they will be able to find happiness in the end. I know that I will carry this movie in my heart for a long time.
Oh, and on a lighter note: In the movie, Frank Langella's character is the producer of a science fiction series called "Blue Matrix". Every Star Trek fan shouldn't miss those scenes. They are hilarious. With all the catastrophes that Andrew McCarthy's character has to endure, he isn't spared wearing a Next Generation inspired outfit (including the forehead). And Janeway fans, watch out for the "Blue Matrix" captain's new hairdo. :-)
