5.0 out of 5 stars Values in Human Relationships, June 26, 2006

By	Happy Pendergrass "Happy" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This film from 1989 explores values within a community of people who have worked together in a boat factory. The problem confronted in the plot is not the fact that the factory must close for lack of customers but rather how each of the co-workers must deal with that closing in the context of their personal relationships outside the shop. The acting/directing is flawless. Part of the plot hangs on a mystical solution, but it is handled well enough to make it believable. The values of the story like values in any human relationship are both bad and good, but the message is positive and possibly more important in terms of the art of film, the whole package is a wonderful entertainment. I recommend you see it for yourself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Signs of Life, June 30, 2009

By	Joseph A. Harasym (Palmetto, Fl.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Signs of Life [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the first time I purchased a used VHS..........I will never do it again. The tape was awful. Lines running through the entire movie and it could not be adjusted. It was a big mistake.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll never forget this movie, June 26, 2001

By	"repokat" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

If you've seen it once, you must see it again! Its like one of those stories you HAVE to read in literature class, the type thats in a collection. You weren't sure you'd be interested, but after you read it, you want to read it again because it is so good. The acting is superb, and the plot is tied together seamlessly. Each time I watch it, I see something new, or understand differently. The characters are so real, like you could know them. I felt a part of the story. It is wonderful.
