clkfan Every once in a while a movie comes along that takes hold and never lets go. The Five Senses does that, from the beginning to the end, in a way where you know leaving your seat will cause you to miss a vital part of the movie. Knowing this, you can't help but remain on the sofa, recliner or your favorite movie chair until the final credits begin scrolling the screen. There is no need for me to detail the movie because I could not do it justice. The only way to get this movie, is to simply watch it for yourself. It's as simple as that and by not watching The Five Senses, you are missing out on a touching film.

monkeyfrancaise It was really well made, I like movies that are like this. The stories all connect but very subtly and it hits "taboo" subjects in an interesting manner. It really shows how we are in society also, showing things that we tend to think we have to hide from everyone because of the way they react. The only part I didn't like was the ending, but thats a matter of personal judgment, some may like it a lot. Well done, and the acting was fantastic :) It's a very interesting movie and well worth your time if you have nothing else to do on a Saturday morning, he-he!! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, because it's quite a fantastic movie. If i've repeated myself a lot it's because IMDb won't let me submit anything that's not 10 lines or more.. sorry!

Movie_Man 500 Roger Ebert made a point once that you can always tell when you're watching a film made in Canada because they take their time telling the story. No different here as a bunch of fascinating plots all revolve at the same time. Some quiet surprises are sprinkled throughout that make complete sense to the characters but perhaps not as well by the viewer. Whenever you see Mary Louise Parker in any movie, you know you're in for something interesting. She plays a chef whose visual masterpieces never taste as good as they look. A highly original work of delicate screenwriting with some of the most potent quiet moments of any recent film.

keren-s Winter, falling leaves, wind, and coldness- those are the main elements we can get from this film. Of course, they create the atmosphere so good, together with the story and the characters. we can see 5 different story's in the film, which connected by technical things (live in the same building, work together or for each other) and the fact that they're all telling us story's about- family relationships, love, and craving for warmness. With the winter, and the great classical music, they remind us the need of the proximity between people, and inside the family. Every character, represent a sense, in a directly way, or the opposite- the lack of the sense. In the main story- a little child got lost,and it's influencing everyone- The mother, the women whom her daughter left the little girl at the park by her self, the doctor who misses his little girl and ask by the police about the misses girl,and the single women and her friend who feel it's a bad sign. The movie start with allot of sadness, (beside the cynical single), but ends with a note of optimism- and again, beside the single women, who gets a big disappointment from her men. The message- everyone wants to be loved, and to have this safe feeling that there is someone who cares for you, and return you in the same way you give him.
