ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Burkettonhe This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

trgz I'm just bouncing all my old VHSs to DVD to save space and was watching this during the process and began to remember how uncomfortable I felt each time I watched it. Yes it has some excellent music, though most Kate fans will concur that it it's not her best material by far, but her acting is so cringe-worthy it makes Bowie look good. I don't want to put too much of a downer on it, as any self-respecting KB fan should watch it, but it's not just Kate's acting that's a bit iffy as many of the supporting roles and the screenplay are unexciting at best. As a device to link together some reasonably good videos it just about works but I think I may do a version that skips out the storyline entirely.FYI her best performance was in the Comic Strip episode 'Les Dogs' though I can't recall if she says that much. She's still gorgeous and is almost without doubt the most significant female singer-songwriter in the history of modern music.

ronaldwvaughan Saw this movie at the NuArt (West L.A.) theater in California some time ago.Just want to add how much I myself enjoyed the work of this artist.Though KATE BUSH supposedly downplays her own creation as "not her best work" this film,nonetheless,DOES have substantial merit."The Line,The Cross,and the Curve" delves into the archetypical and down into the roots of human life itself.Something like an ordinary Everyman (or,in this case,an Everywoman) drawn into extraordinary situations. That's the kind of storytelling genius that the late Alfred Hitchcock used to use.From being plucked from her musician life into a nightmarish purgatory and then being rescued by the forces of nature and good.....this is part of the adventure. My favorite part of the film is when Kate's character is chasing the evil witch-character....a chase through all Eternity but Good triumphs over Evil. And Evil is put back in its place where it belongs.Really a shame,that this film was not released theatrically in more places. Because, it needs to be seen on the big screen for full effect.

kundavega Probably one of the most quirky and campy videos I have ever seen. Full of beautiful imagery and strange humour. Kate is brilliant in her weirdness! I could watch this over and over and never get bored. Kind of reminds me of a Harlan Ellison comic or story come to life in beautiful color. Kate's acting ability is not Oscar worthy, but it works really well here. Miranda Richardson is phenomenal as is Lindsey Kemp. Aside from all of the film aspects, we cannot forget the incredible music where Kate's genius shines like a million suns. Definite two thumbs up and if you are a Kate fan you simply must own it :)

antony-15 This is Kate Bush at her best. Any Kate Bush fan will admit that most of her earlier videos (see "KATE BUSH: THE SINGLE FILE" (1983)), are basically Kate showing her unique way of dancing, but this video is where she really excels herself. Kate is practising to record her video of the 1993 single "Rubberband Girl", which is cut short when there's a power cut. When everyone has left, Kate is confronted by a strange woman who comes through the mirror (!), and begs Kate to help her get home - in return, she will give Kate her beautiful red ballet shoes. Kate accepts, but soon regrets when she herself is taken into the world inside the mirror - the woman double crossed her, because the shoes are eternal - the never stop dancing! The film then shows Kate trying to get home, while she sings some A+ songs like "Moments of Pleasure", the previously mentioned top-ten hit "Rubberband Girl", and "The Red Shoes", also the name of the album the video coincides with. Kate's acting may not be Oscar standard, but her ethereal beauty, the excellent music and the obvious fun she is having make you forget about that and enjoy the ride, and the acting is pretty good for a first performance. This is a fantastic idea, and should be adopted by more singers. Should appeal to ALL Kate Bush fans, music fans in general, and fans of films such as "WIZARD OF OZ" and "THE RED SHOES". Hopefully Kate will do this again if she does record another album! 10/10 :-)!
