Intersection Trailers

During a car accident, Vincent Eastman watches his whole life flash before his eyes, and he doesn't like what he sees. While maintaining the semblance of a marriage with his wife, Sally, Vincent has been carrying on with a mistress, Olivia. She's everything Sally isn't -- warm, passionate, carefree. So why can't he choose between the two, especially when his indecision is taking its toll on his daughter?

Reviews
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
johnmosbrook Not a fan of Richard Gere but as Vincent he does a very good performance here. When we see the women Vincent is involved with we must ask ourselves the question: 'Does this man really need women?' Sharon Stone's character is an annoying social climber. Olivia is a pushy, interrogating drama queen. Vincent is not shy about showing his annoyance with them but he wimpily attempts to 'be reasonable' and 'go along to get along'--the beginning of male self-castration in marriage. It's obvious to me this man needs his work more than he needs any woman--so why not dump these two ball-busters and and all women. It would be a happier life for him.
adicortez70 This is a movie I would never have seen had it not been showing on HBO late one night (after a night out). I was intrigued by the opening sequence and had every intention of channel surfing but I'm glad I didn't. The movie is a series of flashbacks that Vincent Eastman (Richard Gere) is having of the demise of his marriage to wife Sally (played surprisingly well by Sharon Stone) and the budding romance he has with the "other woman" Lolita Davidovich. The flashbacks are very entertaining and pull you in as you wonder what Vincent is going to do. Previous to viewing this film, I never thought much of Sharon Stone as an actor but she acquits herself well in this role. I don't want to give away any vital information and I'm not one to point out little nuances that the director might be adding- but it is a thoroughly enjoyable film. Lolita Davidovich is delightful as the quirky breath of fresh air Vince finds surreptitiously. An added bonus: upon recently returning to this film I was bowled over to see that the once unknown daughter of Vince and Sally was none other than a very young Jennifer Morrison (of House and Once Upon A Time fame).
gorchest The movie has a nice point and counterpoint about it. This movie and Gere's Unfaithful are sort of bookend pieces to each other. As Crash is to Grand Canyon. Guys will pigeon hole this as a chick flick. If you are not going to WATCH CLOSELY you will miss a lot esp towards the ending of Intersection.SPOILER hereVincent Eastman (Gere) can not seem to choose between two women. This is "what I have been doing and what those around me want me to do" versus "going after some one that will make me happy" stuff. His scene with the little red haired girl (2/3 of the way thru) is wonderful. Finally his decision is really made. On the way to his new life he reaches the intersection....The James Newton Howard score is terrific, and sadly, just try finding it anywhere! This movie and Gere's 'Unfaithful' are sort of bookend pieces to each other. As 'Crash' is to 'Grand Canyon'. Guys will pigeon hole this as a chick flick.

johno-21 Richard Gere stars in this American-made remake of the 1970 film Les Choses de la vie of French Director Claude Sautet based on the novel by Paul Guimard. This time around Mark Rydell, who enjoyed success with On Golden Pond, Cinderella Liberty, The Rose and The Reivers among others is the director. Sharone Stone, Lolita Davidavich and Martin Landau round out the cast but this is clearly a Richard Gere film. Although I'm generally not a fan of Gere he is excellent in this. This does have the feel of a European film and although I've never seen the original I would like to. I'd likely find it better as a whole. This is a good drama and although not a big movie it has a good look to it. I would give this a 7.0 on a scale of 10 for it's likable story and performance by Richard Gere,
