      Bipul n Amazing movie. Real Acting. amazing use of Talent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/22 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant movie. It had good, directing, acting, plot, cinematography, music, in fact it had the lot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Utterly perfect film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Let me praise the beautiful camera work. I got mush pleasure watching it with boxxy software. Italy looks beautiful through the lens here. It was definitely made by a great film maker. Some may say the pace is irrelevant. It isn't. The central story of intrigue and suspense is completely supplanted. Every time the camera takes the extra 2 or 3 seconds on a beautiful shot is like a 2 or 3 seconds commercial. In a very short order, the movie can ground to a halt and disrupting any flow it may achieve. This is half a film with a lot of fillers. It needs an editor, and a more meaty 3rd act. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Heaven is a soul searching experience about revenge and the heavy price it extracts. But it also strives to suave the wound through an exercise of love and loyalty. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Blanchett is riveting.

      Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Rene Rodriguez Miami Herald If Heaven doesn't quite achieve the transcendent power that Kieslowski might have attained, it comes close. Rated: 3/4 Nov 15, 2002 Full Review Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution Its compelling mix of trial movie, escape movie and unexpected fable ensures the film never feels draggy. Rated: B Nov 4, 2002 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site A great deal of commotion is organized to conceal the fact that the filmmaker has little to say about contemporary life in general or even his own individual life and circumstances. Feb 16, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Even the distresses of abandoning hope and wishing to pay for sins exhibit an artistry rarely found in these kinds of storylines (the kind involving vigilante justice). Rated: 8/10 Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Casts a poetic, otherworldly romantic spell. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 30, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
