Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

markjayaweera2003 Excellent movie and one of the better love stories I have seen. What made the movie so engaging was the terrific acting of the two leads. Tom Hanks and the lovely Spanish actress Cristina Marsillach. There was real chemistry between the two actor/actress and their passionate love affair overcame everything in the end. Even though its set in WW2 we don't see anything of the fighting of WW2. Except a story about a strong love affair by two people in a time of war. To make this a very enjoyable movie to watch. A forgotten gem from the 1980s, which I first came across back in the 1990s. Definitely 2 hours well spent if anything just for watching Tom Hanks and Christina Marsillach at their best on screen.

pc95 "Every Time We Say Goodbye" is one of those movies you never hear of but are surprised to see a famous actor in (Tom Hanks in this case) on the DVD case. The movie seems a bit dated in it's premise but has some charm to it. Locations are well shot and settings and supporting characters are interesting enough. (spoiler) I liked how Hanks meets the Marsillach character at the sort of engagement dance as well as the events that lead him to having dinner with her family. The on-camera chemistry is modest though blown out with a better depiction of the families' ire for their daughter and the extreme sort of discipline that follows - probably believable for a 1940s era reaction. Tom Hanks here in an earlier part of his career does a fair job more quiet and understated. In a quote from him, he said this movie disappeared, and I suppose it's true, but perhaps it's disappearance is harsh as it has some good moments.

angelsunchained I first saw this movie in 1986 when I was 28 years old. I'm a big fan of Tom Hanks, and at the time, this was really an off-beat role for him. I enjoyed this movie for a number of reasons. It was like the love stories of the 1940s. There is really no action at all in this film, just the central theme that "True Love Conquers All". This story takes place during World war II, and I disagree with some others here who find the relationship pure fantasy. In a time of war, when human life is so fragile, normal thought processes cease. Let's live for the moment becomes the central theme of things. For a soldier or for one who loves him/her, the only thing that is important is the now. Tom Hanks gives his typical outstanding performance. Spanish actress Cristina Marsillach is stunningly attractive. Being a romantic at heart, I like happy endings. Every Time We Say Good-Bye is a sentimental and moving love story.

Avoura I had not heard of this film before, but just happened to watch it on TV in the afternoon, at the suggestion of my girlfriend. She did not know it either, but it starred Tom Hanks, and she likes him as an actor, so we watched it. We were not disappointed. The film was made in Israel, and I loved seeing some shots of Jerusalem (which I have visited twice), and the acting was great. The storyline was good and very interesting, even unusual. The two leads, Tom Hanks (when he was quite young) and Cristina Marsillach (who I never heard of before) both were believable in their roles and made us believe that their characters were well suited. If this ever comes out on DVD, go rent it or buy it. If it is on TV, record it. This is a film I liked very much.
