Movie Reviews of Felicia's Journey
Movie Review: How do we deal with loss?
Summary: 5 Stars
Egoyan's works deal with how we, as humans, deal with the loss of something sacred. In "Exotica", how does on deal with the death of a child, innocence, or a lover? In "Hereafter", we see the same theme explored in another interesting manner. In "Journey", we see it again. In order to appreciate the subtleties for Egoyan's works, you have to appreciate their thematic elements, not to mention his methods of storytelling, as well as his wonderful cinematic eye. "Journey" is a character study in madness, as well as loss. Loss of home, loss of love, loss of innocence. How does one deal with these things? Some must grow up, other must murder. Wonderful acting all around. I highly recommend this film to Egoyan fans and true lovers of extraordinary film. Put your thinking cap on.Movie Review: Egoyan in his top form...
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sweet Hereafter is Egoyan's best movie so far. There's no doubt about it. However it's unfair for some people trying to compare Felicia's Journey with the Sweet Hereafter as they involve different genres, stories, protagonists and places. Every Egoyan's filmmaking is a masterpiece and Felicia's Journey is no exception. There's not any other director who can make a film which is scary as hell as Felicia's Journey while the audience can't even see a drop of blood within the 116-min runtime. It's also a luxury sitting through the film when you see the unique way Egoyan moves the camera. Mychael Danna's music is superb as usual though a little bit more experimental than in pervious works. FJ is another Egoyan's masterpiece and I award it 5+ stars.Movie Review: Transcends its type.
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't blow this film because it looks as if it is a period drama or something along the realms of "Remains of the Day" or "Family Values". This is a PG-13 version of something like "Se7en" or "10 Rillington Place".It is a very good serial killer flick that took me by surprise. Normally I would scan over a movie like this one when playing it on the television but this one really did grip me. Fans of films like "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" should not miss this one. It really is not that bad at all and even for its PG-13 rating contains some very disturbing bits.
In short, do not miss this serial killer flick because it looks like one of those silly dramas that old women like to watch (Opps that sounds sexist, but you know what I mean).
Movie Review: Theater, Film & Music
Summary: 5 Stars
Like "Exotica," Felicia's Journey focuses on impossible dreams, but murders we never see are the reality in the background. Wonderful music links what will never be with what we do not want to know. Lost girl (Elaine Cassidy) receives lots of help from too-lonely professional(Bob Hoskins),who turns out to be a serial killer. His victims come to life in one-minute video clips - a great theater mask - you know they're already dead. "Rest in Peace" sung in Gaelic by Kate Crossan during the final credits is a gorgeous emotional reconciliation.Movie Review: Felicia's Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
Although Leonard Maltin gives this film a tepid review in his Video Guide, I find it a very well made film. I had not watched it since the time when it was sold in video cassette, and I'd forgotten how good it was. Bob Hoskins performance is especially good. The movie is quite frightening, especially if one has never seen it and doesn't know the outcome, but it leaves one with a lot to think about. The style is somewhat like that of a Neil Jordan film.
