Dorathen Better Late Then Never

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Cindy P I just saw this movie last night. It was odd and strange but I kind of liked it. It's not really that hard to figure out what's going on. Sadie is either going insane and thinks she's Anna Stokes, a descendant of hers from the Civil War era or Anna's spirit is taking Sadie over and it's left up to the viewer to decide which. The only part I didn't understand was did Anna get murdered? And if so, who killed her? Was it Edmund's mother? I didn't fully understand that part. In some peoples' past reviews they have mixed things up. One person wrote that Harry got killed but he didn't...they told Anna he died in the Civil War so she married Edmund while she was carrying Harry's baby but Harry wasn't dead...he came back and he and Anna ran off together. And one person wrote that Sadie lived in Cedarsville her whole life, but she hasn't...she came back to take care of the grandmother. The cupboard where the letter from Anna was found was very mysterious so u don't know if Sadie is going insane or if Anna is a ghost possessing her. Another interesting part about the movie is that at first it seems like Henry thinks that Sadie is a weirdo but then you see things from his perspective and realize he's just as strange as her.

mauvemoonlight This is a rather unusual film - which seems to be about reincarnation and ghosts.It starts off rather interestingly - with a character named Sadie Stokes, a woman I would guess to be in her mid-40s. Sadie seems to be a rather lonely person, apparently shy and with no friends, despite the fact she's lived in the area her entire life.Sadie is very much in love with a man named Henry but too shy to even speak to him. Henry is played by David Strathairn - who has the most beautiful brown eyes framed by gorgeous black eyebrows - I think I have ever seen. I was never clear on exactly what Henry's character does for a living - possibly a mechanic.Sadie seems to work in a bookstore as near as I could tell and lives with her grandmother, who is severely senile (hiring someone to stay with the woman during the time she works.) But, perhaps Sadie has lived before. She begins to have what are either flashbacks, hallucinations, memories or time-traveling experiences. It seems that in a past life she was a woman named Anna. That all of these people have lived before and been involved with each other is the theme of the film.As it turns out, Anna and a man named Harry were madly in love with one another back during Civil War times. However Harry was killed, perhaps, this is never made clear. At any rate, Anna married his cousin, Edmond -who was also madly in love with Anna.After that, things become even less clear. The film fails to follow a linear storyline, and we appear to be shown different versions of what happened to these people.

somally2494 This movie was mildly funny and very cute. Sadie's character reminded me of a teenager in love when Henry was around. Melissa Leo and David Starthairn gave excellent performances as the lovers lost in time. I will say it was a little quirky movie. I did not know what to expect going into this movie. Afterwords, I found to love this movie. Especially David Strathairn's character(s). At first I thought Sadie was the silly, sort-of-insane one, but as the movie reached the ending it turned out Henry was the one talking to the audience and he was the weird, shy guy. Jason Downs also did well as Edmund. I felt this movie would be a good date movie and one that may require a good description of the movie before watching, because one may get confused while watching. The movie was a little confusing with the Past-Present thing. After completely watching this movie, I will have to say I love it!

ms_heza I registered at IMDb just to respond to another's comments about this film. The previous reviewer (from Hong Kong) is missing something. I'm not sure what it is (maybe he was playing solitaire while the film was playing) but he really didn't understand a lot of obvious things about this film. Personally, I didn't find it confusing at all. On the contrary, I thought it was great, understandable and fun. It's got some hilarious moments and I laughed out loud several times. There are some unanswered questions but they're not that kind that have to be answered in order for the film to work.This isn't a blockbuster so if one has high expectations, they're liable to be disappointed. But, it doesn't make sense to come into anything with expectations anyways, because they're entirely subjective. :D
