Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

tbills2 I love Cate Blanchett. She is quite the looker, my friend. If you didn't know this from watching Cate in her movies that she's oh so beautiful and oh so intelligent then you have no precognitive psychic capability at all, or cognitive sensibility for that matter. The Gift has a special cast - Blanchett, Reeves, Holmes, Kinnear, Ribisi, Swank. I really love all these actors and actresses but I really love the actresses the most; the actors are all really good in this but Hilary, Katie, and Cate are all phenomenal, like Annabelle's gift. Blanchett is a pure actress. Everyone else is just for kicks and giggles. I get a lot of kicks and a lot of giggles over Katie Holmes in The Gift. I love Katie Holmes. She's almost as pretty as Cate. Cate, you sly devil, I love you. The Gift is a fascinating, complex, and excellent showcase of a movie. I'm not sure why you want me to tell you that it's not like I have special mental powers or anything. I just love movies and I really love beautiful woman, like Cate, and Katie, and Hilary, and Kim Dickens. I would go get readings from Annabelle just to be with her, in a sweet way, kind of like Buddy. Donnie is a crazy creep and Wayne is a raging psycho. The Gift is very underappreciated by everyday people but not by movie lovers. I love The Gift really and it earns an 8 in my humble opinion attributed to the brilliant in depth acting and marvelous story writing. Katie Holmes' boobies are outrageously the best boobies for all ages of time. You didn't need foresight to know that that was coming. I love Katie Holmes and I really love Cate and this movie has an unforeseeable twist ending, unless you're really smart.

kai ringler Keanu Reeves Cate Blanchett, and Katie Holmes, star studded affair as a pyshic reader is called in when a woman disappears and the police can't find her, she is asked by the girl's rich father to look for her,, as time passes she has vibes that tell her where to look,, soon she finds the girl in a pond dead. this lead's to the suspicion of her violent husband played by Keanu Reeves,, I thought a lot of people were turned off by his character, seeing how abusive he was to his wife. is he the killer,, sure looks like it , but looks can be deceiving,, even after the husband is locked up she still has vibes about the killing.. you will just have to watch and see if Donnie really did kill his wife or is there someone else out there who had it in for her,, yeah the father daughter kiss, kinda threw me off guard, I was like wait a minute weren't they a little too close.

David T For starters Cate Blanchett can do no wrong in my humble opinion, she's a very natural actor with an amazing ability to totally absorb the role she's playing.I found the story weak and some of the scenes incredibly predictable, the jump out and scare you moments, whilst only a handful are over done with sudden explosions of noise from the film's score. Totally un-needed as the tension works a wonderful solo.The cards she uses to get her 'visions' are weird - what are they. This, for me was the biggest weakness. They are an unnecessary prop, the character's psychic ability could very well stand on its own as visions and dreams.There's not badly cast person in this thriller, especially the three boys who their roles brilliantly, one wouldn't know they were acting. If you love Blanchett, you'll not be disappointed. Had it been a little tighter and not so strung out, I'd have given it a 10 - as it is, 8's a pretty good score I reckon.

TheMara61 This movie might be in my top-ten not to see comfortable in my bed, on a rainy afternoon. Usually, I like to see hard action movies on the great screen of a theater, and psychological drama movies alone, at home, advertising the family not to disturb. Well, in fact "The Gift" works both ways, and I feel the need to give all my credits and respect to the writers, the director, the whole actors team. Cate Blanchett was amazing from the first scene up to the end. Her performance has been awesome, as the neurotic single mother of three, her gift necessarily to make a living, yet social controversial. At some point, one could see her eyes's injected like after crying a lot, is this possible to be "a special effect", I wonder: yes, but ingenious. Keanu Reeves, one of the most controversial stars of all times, has constructed here an unbelievable role of a rude, brutal, huge, abusing husband versus the kiddo "knock, knock" looks as Neo, a year before. My respects here. The feelings of being unsecured, trapped transcends and catches the viewers. (This is what I have felt). The whole atmosphere was genial realized, like in a black and white old movie, but the end where in the cemetery, one can feels peace and mild autumn colors. While by 3/4 section movie you can guess that Donnie is not the killer and you keep for yourself the "disappointing" relationship with the movie, the switch on scene when Buddie Cole coming back to the rescue,the policeman saying that he was dead was also a great or ingenious ideas. Well, I have just said that the movie connects with the auditorium. That is very rare. Tremendous feeling. I have rated this movie 10 from 10, I do not feel the need to take a star or two. My only fancy question raises like that: why Keannu Reeves has felt right to perform two "bad guy" roles after the huge success in the Matrix, knowing there will be another Matrix -es? I mean "The Watcher" and this "The Gift". Has this superstar felt the need to indulge himself loosing fans... cause the bad guys's characters could dangerously decline a "Speed" or a "Matrix" career of the usually's Keannu Reeves positively heroes. The Warchovschy Bros have not counted this one?
