FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

flute_ian I stumbled across this on late night TV part way through and was soon mesmerized, likely because when Miles plays a note, I can't move. I couldn't figure out what it was about, which probably added to the appeal, given the hypnotic nature of the music. Throw in three of my 'favorite girls' i.e. Isabella, Ellen and Jodie, and I was hooked. Marcus is channeling Sketches of Spain, and it was wonderful to hear Miles in that milieu once again. I highly recommend this movie despite the low rating of circa 5 out of ten that you see on the site here. Perhaps the key is to dispense with any expectations of what a movie should be, fundamentally. If nothing else, just revel in the music !! (...and the cute ladies...)(additional comments a year later) I have to admit I must be somewhat obsessed with this project. Perhaps re: Miles/Spain. And Marcus Miller has great taste. And is that Bennie Maupin/bass clarinet? But what gets me in addition upon further viewing is the editing. And you have to give credit for personnel decisions. If this is Lambert then she certainly must have some kind of special nose for creative intelligence.

Robin Evermore This is one movie I've never forgotten, its weird, its like a dream and a nightmare, its very surreal and visual. This movie actually makes me feel as if I'm experiencing someones dream while watching it. , from what I gather at the end Claire is dead, the blood on the dress was her her blood. I think to really understand this movie you should read the book Albany Park by Patrice Chaplin. I heard that Albany Park was being made into a movie if anyone has any information about this please post it. This movie is very visual and there are stretches where their is no talking at all. I've never quite seen a movie like this before. So I would definitely recommend that a person watch this movie at least once to experience it

manea33 Siesta is a most atmospheric film, almost dreamlike, you feel the Spanish heat while Ellen Barkin is stumbling through the pictures in confused despair. She wakes up lying on the roll way of an airport, not knowing where she is or how she got there. Her red dress is full of blood and she starts running... From there, an odyssey begins for her, with strongly impressive scenes of -not only sexual- passion. A bit confusing for the first time watching because of all the flashbacks, when you watch the film a second time you can really enjoy it. Many stunning actors, who appear to join Ellen without really helping her situation, only dragging her deeper in confusion. A surprising end, all of a sudden you begin to understand what happened to Ellen and why she lost her memory. This film left such a strong impression on me that i still recommend it to all of my friends and other movie fans.

Kraig Blackwelder This film really deserves a better rep than it appears to have. It's not a fast moving film by any stretch, but it does a commendable job of portraying the phantasmagoric experience of the protagonist (played by Barkin). My strong suspicion is that people who have rated it poorly were wanting it to be a standard love story or follow a more traditional plot arc, and that it certainly does not do. Just the cast of this film should indicate that it's not your run of the mill flick, and every single member of the cast turns in a stunning performance (even the visually stunning but acting-challenged Grace Jones). The production values are good, and I really found the cinematography to be quite beautiful (but it -is- Spain, so that's not so surprising). Lastly, the Miles Davis soundtrack is haunting, poignant and beautiful. In my judgment, you can tell a lot about a person's response to this film by how they responded to Lynch's Mulholland Drive. If you like one, you'll like the other.
