Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com A mid-80s oddity worth a look for genre fans (as well as a rare cinematic effort starring Jaclyn Smith), Déjà vu may give you the eponymous feeling it promises, though not always to the film's benefit Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 8, 2020 Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review ...a sort of science-fiction riff on the old film-noir classic Laura... Rated: 4/5 Nov 24, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Based on the novel Always by Trevor Meldal-Johnsen, this is all about Gregory (Nigel Terry), a writer who believes that he was reincarnated and that his fiancee Maggie (Jaclyn Smith) was once his doomed ballerina love in a past life. What takes this movie from somewhat boring to Cannon magic is Shelley Winters, who plays a Russian psychic named Olga Nabokova, and no one told Ms. Winters not to start at a 3 or 4 and then turn it up, because you can't crank down a ten, but she never tries to modulate for the entire film and I'm beyond overjoyed at this fact. Meanwhile, Gregory was once Michael and Brooke was once Ashley and they all died in an inferno and Gregory is writing a novel about his past life instead of actually writing something that his agent thinks can make money, but you know, when you get obsessed, you get obsessed. This is the only movie that Anthony Richmond, Nicholas Roeg's cinematographer for Don't Look Now, ever directed. There's a good Pino Donaggio score, too. But the story doesn't really add up and meanders pretty well with only Winters — and Claire Bloom as Maggie's mother — realizing that this is a Cannon movie and acting for all of us in the cheap seats. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Bland Dead Again ripoff. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member What the hell? I would not subject anyone to this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a very strange movie. The plot was interesting but there was a bit of deja vu all over the place! (forgive the pun). Not a bad movie. Somewhat of a horror film, but nothing that will scare the pants off of you. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
