Christina S @cswalz Jan 26 I thought it was beautiful and romantic. I didn't know it was based off of a book so I didn't miss any plots. Everyone is too precious about it. I loved the magic of it, Colin and Jessica had really good connection...you could feel it. Peter loved her so much from the moment he saw her. I LOVE this movie!! See more Andrew C. @drewcal10 Dec 29 This movie had so many plot holes. What happened to the chick when the angel spiked her drink? How did the horse fly? How did Parker lake lose his memory for 100 years? How did his apartment keep power? How did he dress modernly? How was little that girl still alive when she was gona be 110 years old? Don’t ever ever watch See more Tony M @Cadelin Dec 27 Ignore the negative comments I love this film See more Aidan P. @Aidanjp Dec 20 Saw the last half or 2/3 of this. Had no idea what it was, but very clearly adapted from a book, and came across as just…silly. The magical realism aspect was arbitrary and kind of senseless, with lots of things tying together in awkward convoluted ways or being foreshadowed just because.

First, this is one of my two absolute favorite novels ever. I've read it more times than I can count. It does confound, somewhat, but it's lyricism and expression and language, and milieu are astounding. I always wished it could be a film but knew it couldnt, because it would need to be many hours long. I read this at a time when streaming didn't exist and "Limited Series" were a thing we hadn't seen since the 70's and early 80's on network TV, called "mini series". This novel would absolutely be sensational as limited series on Apple or Amazon, but there's no way to make it a single film without dramatically simplifying it, which is what he have here: a marked simplification of one of several plots that drive the amazing novel. I knew that going in, and was able to deeply appreciate the film for it's high aims. It does indeed capture one of the several powerful themes of the novel: namely Transcendent love. Goldsman leaves in just enough of the novels mysticism and magic realism to confuse movie goers, but for anyone who's read the novel, we can;t help but fill in the many many blanks. But here's where it really get me: I learned when the film was released that it was also one of Goldsman's favorite novels, and that he too always thought it couldn't be done. But when his wife died, he very nearly left writing altogether, claiming that his joy and drive to create had died with his beloved wife. But at some point, he realized that (again, one of many) major themes of the novel is love that transcends time. At that point he decided to resurrect himself by making this film, knowing it would only focus on a about 1/4 of the novel. Knowing that, and loving the book as much as I do, I couldn't not like this attempt, and what it meant for Goldsman. See more Read all reviews
