Most helpful review Heaven

  • Unique, beautiful and captivating.

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By A captive viewer. from Kent. U.K. , 15 Nov 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    A superbly refreshing and beautiful love story. The acting throughout is exceptional, Blanchett and Ribisi's performance and credibility were moving and sublime. Exceptional cinematography and a refreshingly creative storyline full of surprising developments and exciting unpredictable twists. I found a curious similarity between the two main characters relationship in 'The Gift' which was quite eerie,in which Ribisi acts as 'savior' to Blanchett under different circumstances.

    If you enjoy a well made film, with stunning scenery, moving and captivating performances and a damn good story then you'll love this one...I can't wait for the sequel.

  • Loved it

    Really enjoyed this film! A shame the scriptwriter died before writing the hoped for trilogy. Nevertheless it stands fine on its own. Kept our family including 3 teenagers glued to screen. Personally liked lack of violence & swearing. It's a good story, well acted and some exquisite Italian scenery.

    A beautiful film. A film to take your breath away. The cinematography and acting is superlative, and comes with a gentle mystery that bellies the powerful story. Every shot is considered, every moment is in the truth - and every word written aches!

  • Beautiful piece on despair and love

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By Anniegetyogun (116 reviews) from Down South , 24 May 2011
    Beautiful film. The chemistry between the two leads is exquisite. A violent act of despair and/or love becomes the catalyst to a loving meeting of souls. The only issue I really have with this film is the ending. I've seen it a few times and love the acting of Ribisi and Blanchett but the ending is ridiculous in my opinion.

    It says in the write up that this was meant as the first of a trilogy so I wonder now where they were plannning to continue from that ending but this is the first I've heard of it and no further film was made anyway as far as I know so it stands as it is a brilliant piece, so grounded and real and thought provoking at first that suddenly goes completely whack at the end. That loses it a star.
