Movie Reviews of Deja Vu
Movie Review: Deja Vu
Summary: 5 Stars
Movie was received just as it was advertised and it came quickly. Thank youMovie Review: Lots of Synchronicity, Romance, And Challenges To The Status Quo
Summary: 4 Stars
(Note: This review was written by my wife, Laura...)
You will instantly be drawn into this beautiful film as the lives of two strangers become interwoven in a magical dance of the soul. How does one choose between a stable, comfortable life and another life that is filled with true love but tainted with uncertainty?
This movie seeks to answer this question as these two strangers are ripped between what their mind wants and is conditioned to want by friends, family, and society, and what their soul desires in this rich display of poetic vulnerability and undeniable synchronicities.
As a result, there are some turns in this movie that challenge conventional views about love and marriage. Depending on how strongly you identify with a strict moral code, you may or may not enjoy particular aspects of this movie.
Still, it is both realistic and romantic, dramatic and simple, heart-warming and gut-wrenching. For the hopeful romantics, synchronicity lovers, and plain, old good film enthusiasts, Deja Vu will surely leave you feeling pleased.
Movie Review: You can't miss a minute of this delightful movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a rather complex but delightful movie whose first minute feeds that last. There are so many occasions where life seems to be relived that if you miss just one of these DejaVu events you may have difficulty putting the pieces together until much later in the movie.
I recommend this movie highly.
Movie Review: Worth seeing once.
Summary: 3 Stars
Another cute movie about love at first sight, destiny, regret, and the responsibilities that follow. The story's web of coincidences proves highly predictable as long as you're paying attention. The smart thought-provoking dialogue pulled me into the characters' dilemma. I couldn't decide know whether to judge Dana and Sean selfish or hopelessly romantic. Like many other viewers, I found Foyt's character rather annoying... very whiny and spastic. The cinematography is terrible. I haven't researched whether or not this was a low-budget film, but I'm hoping it was because the cameraman zoomed in and out spontaneously without any real purpose or direction. This drew my attention away from the story many times, especially near the beginning.
Despite these annoyances, the creative dialogue (most of it anyway) and feel-good, tear-jerking ending makes Deja Vu worth seeing at least once.
Movie Review: the scenery was nice
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is 99% dialogue, and most of that dialogue is improvised. Luckily, the actors are good at it, but the improvisation shows. The other one percent is travelogue, and the scenes of Jerusalem, Paris and Dover add to the movie.
A number of movies have tackled the love-of-one's-life phenomenon, but the others used some kind of story to try to get the feeling across. This movie merely talks about it.
The lead actress was actively off-putting. I didn't find her whiney, just not particularly likeable, and certainly not attractive. In any love story, the audience (or at least half of it) has to fall in love with the female lead. The other half has to go for the male lead. It was impossible to like, much less love, this female lead.
Bottom line: worth seeing once for the scenery, if you can get it for a VERY low price.
