Movie Reviews of Felicia's Journey
Movie Review: Elaine Cassidy...
Summary: 5 Stars
As I do completely love Elaine Cassidy and count myself among many of her adoring fans...I've asked myself would I like this movie as much as I do if she wasn't in it...The answer is probably not if I'm being truthful with myself and you...So therefore, speaking strictly as a fan of her's is the only way that I could rightfully spew forth my most humble opinion of this film...
Elaine is especially gifted at playing an innocent character. And indeed Felicia is the most innocent girl that's walking head on into a very bad situation! This fact had me sitting on the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie wondering what was going to be her fate after all...Wow, Bob Hoskins did a fantastic job! I was freaked out by him...But just as demented as his character is in the movie. Elaine is so angelic as her character and for me that made for one really good movie! I really cared about what was happening to Felicia...But I'll have to give that credit to Elaine for how well she played Felicia...She was so kind, so lost, so trusting...Bob Hoskins takes his credit for taking his role to the exact polar opposite of Felicia...I hated him and yet I felt sorry for him more often than not because of how lonely he was...Now quoted someone said " the people who like this film are pretentious pedantic bores" and I say no I'm not I'm just a fan of Elaine Cassidy's thank you very much...
Summary of Felicia's Journey
A moving and chilling portrait of a serial killer who befriends innocent young women in need only to turn them into his victims. Felicia is the latest of his prospects to fall into the grasp of his deceptive charm. Special features: commentary with director atom egoyan theatrical trailer and much more. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 05/22/2007 Starring: Bob Hoskins Elaine Cassidy Run time: 111 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Atom EgoyanLike Hitchcock, Atom Egoyan envisions family life as a potential hotbed of literal or figurative violence and incest. In Felicia's Journey, Egoyan's adaptation of William Trevor's shattering novel, one dreads to imagine what TV-cook mom (Arsinée Khanjian) did to so damage her pudgy son that grown- up Hilditch (Bob Hoskins) still prepares meals in perfect unison with faded videotapes of her show--and, as we eventually discover, often takes more sinister trips down Memory Lane. Distant kin to Psycho's Tony Perkins, Hoskins's troll is so obsessive, so traumatized, his every short-armed, fat-handed gesture and sing-song utterance is precisely calculated to keep reality safely buried.
Egoyan's movies often seem located underwater, in some surreal dreamscape where one's breath is perpetually suspended while a slow horror seeps ever deeper under the skin. Helpless, transfixed, one watches as his characters drive inexorably toward mined intersections where lives and souls may be lost or redeemed. When Hilditch's path crosses, diverges from, and finally coincides with that of young, pregnant Felicia (Elaine Cassidy)--an Irish innocent searching for her errant boyfriend--it leads to terrible epiphany for these fellow travelers. Trouble is, creepy Hilditch and too-naive Felicia come up a bit short in the psychological complexity department, so by film's end, revelatory payoffs are mostly penny ante. Felica's Journey tours familiar Egoyan territory--an industrialized wasteland full of hungry hearts--but this latest fairy tale (think perverse variations on Hansel and Gretel) isn't in the same league with such "family values" masterpieces as Exotica or The Sweet Hereafter. --Kathleen Murphy
