5.0 out of 5 stars Lured me in, September 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Strange Relations [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Until two weeks ago, I had never heard of this movie. I began watching about a half hour into it the other day when I came across it on Showtime and remained planted until it was over. Brilliant display of real people underneath the pretensions and dysfunctions of cultural and class differences within a family. Paul Reiser was excellent in this movie, as were all of the lead characters. Although a drama, there are a lot of surprisingly funny moments in this film. A good watch.

This review is from: Strange Relations (DVD)

finally available on DVD, quality is good, though just a transfer from original VHS source. Still, a surprisingly unheralded drama about a NY pyschiatrist (Reiser) who, diagnosed with leukemia and in need of a bone marrow donor, goes in search of his biologial family in Liverpool upon learning he is adopted. Well acted, well written drama (though with a good dose of humor) and literally made me sob. Have watched it numerous times on tape and cable and it keeps sucking you in with the story and its endearing characters, especially a good Julie Walters (Educating Rita).
Can't go wrong with this purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unmissable, May 3, 2004

This review is from: Strange Relations (DVD)

I can't stress enough how good this programme is. I live in the UK and it's only been shown twice on TV and is not yet availabe on DVD or video here, but luckily i recorded it second time it was on, so i haven't had to cope without it.
The story is so sad, yet happy and amusing at the same time. I wish it didn't end how it does (i wont give it away), but apart from that, i can't fault it.
Julie Walters deserved her BAFTA, but the whole cast was incredible. Paul Reiser was hilarious and portrayed the characters emotions perfectly. And then, of course, there's Amy Robbins who shines in everything and can do no wrong.
If you haven't seen this yet, then stop whatever else you're doing and see it.
