4.0 out of 5 stars Rachel Weisz Is Worth the Investment, September 25, 2003

By	Edward Lee "ncc1205" - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This may be an entirely fanboy attitude, but I WANT YOU is by no stretch of the imagination a great film by any measure. It doesn't boast one tremendous storyline you'll not soon forget once the ending is near. It doesn't bluster with great social significance. It doesn't offer a moral statement by which the world can be a better place.

Simply put, I WANT YOU is a character piece that revolves entirely around the incredible Rachel Weisz. Modesty aside, she's a beautiful woman, and the sexually explicit scenes played out here are not only tastefully well-done but appear to be closer to "real sex" than "cinema sex." It's the subtle nuances that Weisz brings to her character -- yes, in even the non-sex scenes -- that shows her true talent and gift with the camera.

Frankly, I'm amazed that she isn't getting more artistic work, based on the grace she shows in I WANT YOU.

5.0 out of 5 stars simple plot, really explorative cinematography, October 2, 1999

By A Customer

if this is the same movie i saw recently then this is a really good film. Perfect for those film enthusiast who enjoy good film textures and techniques. The compositional quality was good. The story was simple, i liked it that way. and you might only realise its simplicity after the fact. art film lovers, you can include this. The film has its problems though in building roles but it isnt too intrusive. worth a second watch

hope you enjoy it... and i loved the music, peformed by RARE and in particular one by Elvis Costello and the Attractions ( I Want You ) yeah its the same name. Its from Elvis' Blood and Chocolate albumn 1979

4.0 out of 5 stars Good movie, July 7, 2001

By	Amanda (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

I Want You was really interesting. I'm a fan of Rachel Weisz, and after reading that this was her favorite movie to make, I decided to buy it. The plot is good, and the characters were kind of unique. I wavered between feeling sorry for Helen, and wondering if she was what she wanted everyone to think she was. You don't really know what happened to her father; she tells Honda, but I wonder if that was the truth. And you wonder why she is so uncomfortable with men...though she seems pretty compliant when her ex comes to town, though maybe a little regretful. All in all it's a good movie, not your typical formulaic Hollywood trash.
