Movie Reviews of Losing Chase
Movie Review: superb, believable, human drama
Summary: 5 Stars
Totally loved this movie, moved it to top ten "faves" in my collection. Bought it because I'm a big Kyra Sedgwick fan and love Mirren too. However, didn't expect all that much (after seeing a few dogs lately). Got hooked by a clip on Youtube. I was extremely surprised by how much I liked this film. Wasn't even available at the local vid store. There is palpable romantic tension between Kyra and Helen, enough to drive a person crazy, but it never spills into "gratituitous groping or poor taste". Not a lesbian film, but very enjoyable for persons of any orientation. Great drama, very human. Moves nicely, didn't want to pause it for a break. The acting (everyone involved) is really believable. The ending was bittersweet but appropriate. Easy to get totally wrapped up in each of the characters and feel for them. Beautiful writing. Can't wait to watch it again with my sister.Movie Review: Brilliant Acting
Summary: 5 Stars
In this directorial debut of Kevin Bacon, it's clear that he knows how to get moving, in depth performances out of his actors. Helen Mirren, some ten years before she would win an Oscar, and an actress known to more savvy movie goers, gives a riveting performance of a woman deadened by her marriage - who suddenly comes to life when a young girl comes to work as a nanny to her children. Miss Mirren won a Golden Globe Award for her performance. Kyra Sedgwick gives a beautifully touching performance of a young girl, recovering from the suicide of her mother, who comes back to life in this Martha's Vineyard Household - only to be shocked by the chaos that she's caused.Movie Review: Sensitive!
Summary: 5 Stars
Losing Chase is a movie about coming alive and the sharing of coming alive. The Helen Mirren character is in deep depression and her husband takes her and their children to their island home, Martha's Vineyard, for the summer. He commutes from his job on weekends so he hires a caretaker, Kyra Sedgwick, to look after her and the children. Sedgwick has her own issues and Mirren begins to recover as she changes positions with her. It is beautifully fllmed and wonderfully acted.Movie Review: Wonderful movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with most that in the beginning it is a difficult movie to watch. Especially for a Helen Mirren fan. Chase Phillips' behavior is something to be desired but it certainly adds to the film. It's a beautiful work of art and I'm very happy to own it! Helen Mirren is, as always, a genius. And Kyra Sedgwick and Beau Bridges are wonderful as well. I highly Recommend it!Movie Review: Fantastic movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The beginning was a bit rough for me, but it gradually got "better". When they started to understand each other I was captivated by it. Near the end I knew it would never work, probably because of the age difference, but it was somewhat a sweet ending. I love this movie now and it wasn't too sad like some others.
