Movie Reviews of Losing Chase
Movie Review: The acting and senery are wonderful!!! The content is not my taste.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not into homosexuality so when the movie goes "there" I got turned off. But the senery is beautifully done and the acting suburb.Movie Review: No DVD extras, but you'll love this movie
Summary: 4 Stars
From the surface, this movie is depressing, but there's nothing funny about mental illness or not finding yourself in this great big world. "Losing Chase" is one of those little known movies that you feel sad for because not a whole lot of people will get to see it. Even I don't know how I came about it, but I am a huge Hellen Mirren fan ever since "Excalibur." She shines in this movie, but Kevin Bacon in his directorial debut shows a lot of sensitivity in portraying these two women. The other being Kyra Sedgwick who plays the young, post grad parent helper. The setting is the gorgeous and languid Martha's Vineyard, if you've never been there, this movie will invite you to. The begining of the movie might be a little uncomfortable to watch as young Elizabeth(Sedgwick) is introduced and humilated by Chase. Then there's the angry pre-teen son who is just as ascerbic and nasty to his mother. There's a lot of sadness in these characters because they have been affected by mental illness, but it's their inner strength and their kindness to each other that ultimately triumphs. Sedgwick and Mirren have that rare chemistry that true professional actors can convey on screen. Highly recommended.Movie Review: For Mirren Fans
Summary: 3 Stars
Yes, I agree with the review above----this is tough to watch-----Mirren is always so believable (a true actor who is "one" with the role, and the only other one I can think of off the cuff is Meryl Streep)and her abusiveness to the young mother's helper is so uncomfortable to view. Good pacing, and Beau is also quite good as the husband who loves his wife but is clueless.
Now, I know that this is fantasy of "the movies," but Helen sure gets the younger lovers, doesn't she ? As Ayn Rand, Karen Stone, the new Shadowboxer flick----how fabulous that at 61 she is still considered sexy enough. I hope I am !
Movie Review: what a piece of crap
Summary: 1 Stars
A good cast in a very badly scripted and quite unbelievable (in the worst sense of the word) movie. This was an incredibly inaccurate portrayal of mental illness, if that indeed is what Helen Mirren was supposed to be portraying. She was really just one pissed off woman, which is what I'd be too if I were married to Beau Bridges' asinine character. For a much better depiction of 'not normal' watch Benny and Joon. Don't bother with this one.
