Juliet Gabriella Kaleigh I thought that this movie was lovely, it had a great plot and the actors did their jobs well. I don't think that this was a slow movie. I would suggest that any human watch Driftwood if they want to see a beautiful yet tragic film.
Zaxx-2 I liked this movie.The acting was good and the story believable.The woman had a morbid fear of abandonment and intended to keep the man at all costs.The man's amnesia, though never explained, was credible, and so was his desire to leave.Their sexual relationship was understandable and probably inevitable.The story unfolded naturally, and I cared about the characters. I was never bored and never felt that the action was too slow. It held my interest.I found the epilogue believable, ironic, likely, and haunting.
Farleyed You don't really notice it at first, but Anne Brochet is deceptively cute. Intitially she seems almost plain, then you get a crush on her and think it is your own special crush. Then you realize she was Roxanne in Cyrano with Depardieau. Anyway, this is an interesting little movie about obsession and deception and Spader is interesting, even when doing mundane things.
Rio-7 I really think that this movie might have been classified as one of James Spader's great movies if the story line wasn't so screwed up and half the movie wasn't based on sex alone. The movie concerns a lonely French girl who finds a shipwrecked sailor and tries to keep him for herself. The movie would be believable except it's quite impossible for 2 people to jump into bed and suddenly be in love with each other. I think the movie itself was quite good, cast well and filmed well with attention paid more to acting than material detail. Get rid of the mentally disturbed and the distasteful sex and you've got a great movie.
