an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Having read some IMDb reviews before I got my hands on the film itself, I was agreeably surprised watching it. In the canon of the director whose early works I admire, it definitely resides somewhere close to the bottom - but Roeg is always interesting, even at his lowest. Though the Australian DVD has no subtitles (which is always bad news for me because - as the reader of this already knows - my knowledge of English is quite limited), I was not bored for the most of the movie, and I believe that it has important things to say about life not only of rich Americans. A haiku ("Suddenly you light // and as suddenly go dark // fellow firefly") inserted (almost literally) between Mimi Rogers' breasts shouldn't be underestimated. Rogers is a gorgeous piece of a woman but the film really is not about her, or her breasts, or philosophical/mystical reflections - it's about human relations and mutual using/misusing in pursuit of happiness, self-fulfillment,etc., seen by Roeg under slightly satirical angle. (From this point of view, which I'm not sure of, the otherwise likable ending was a bit disappointing, tending to follow a rather sentimental line.)If I would be asked to recommend any of my colleagues' reviews, it would be dnjir' s.

In this movie, Mimi Rogers is naked! Mimi Rogers plays a successful art gallery owner who gets weekly full body massages to relieve her 'tensions' (pun definitely intended). Her usual masseuse skips out and sends in this other guy who talks and talks and talks while, wait for it, massaging Mimi's body.This is as deep as the plot gets. But, if one is watching this movie, that is not the least of their concern. Because, in this movie, Mimi Rogers is naked!! She, a voluptuous woman (38D-26-36!!!!), gets all oiled up, and you can fully see her buttocks and breasts, which get massaged for a long time, and guess what? They are real! Now, some of you might be wondering why I keep talking about Mimi Rogers's body - which is naked in this movie, by the way. That's because this is an erotic movie, and that's all there is to it. There has not been an erotic movie with a plot of reasonable depth other than 'Kama Sutra,'and 'Full Body Massage' proves this point.My review of this movie would have been 2/10, but thanks to Mimi Rogers, who is naked in this movie, it gets an 8/10. Keep in mind that just 3 years after this movie, Mimi Rogers wears a body-hugging spacesuit in 'Lost in Space,' which is a family movie... (awkward)Full Body Massage is an erotic movie with Mimi Rogers, who shows that perfection can be achieved without plastic surgery, and it's a must see for all fans (erotic movie fans and Mimi Rogers fans).

Nicolas Roeg. Roeg is one of the best directors of our time. He is the one who understands what is all about. Even his films that are not so good - they shows you something new. And that's why they are worth watching. This is not his best film, but Mimi is gorgeous. You can see what she can offer. And you can see something about her in this film. Erotic, tasty, thoughtful. And I'd kill everybody who says it's pretentious. It's not. It's better than Woody Allen - that's for sure. It shows more with dialog. Well, it shows Mimi's breast for start. And it shows her not giving a damn about it. She's like a middle aged female hero.

Interesting storyline, but in this case who really is listening to the dialog?? This movie is really about one thing, Mimi Rogers and her hot body. I can't believe anyone was able to get her to go along with this movie with the amount of nudity it contains, but hey, she's got the body for it (particularly her boobs)...so if you have ever wondered what she looks like unclothed...well you won't wonder anymore after seeing this film...she's naked most of the time and she doesn't disappoint. What was Cruise thinking when he let her get away? Not that he didn't do OK after her, but Mimi Rogers is without a doubt what a woman is all about...she has the looks, the body and she's one of the most intelligent women in Hollywood...genius IQ.
