Few things in life equal the euphoric glow we feel upon first opening our eyes from a wonderful dream. But this exhilaration is ephemeral-we awaken and realize that the glorious reverie has passed forever. In "Passion of Mind," Marie Willis (Demi Moore) awakens from one dream only to enter another. Or does she? Ultimately, the nocturnal-fantasy that Marie creates becomes so vivid and alluring that even she can't distinguish between the dream and the reality.

It's flawed and a bit convoluted, but worth seeing simply because the idea behind it is so intriguing.

I know I'm in the minority, but I found this psychological drama intriguing from start to finish. Perhaps it's a personal bias because I am a fan of William Fichtner and Demi Moore, but I found the acting was good. Unlike movies that leave us swinging, the conclusion made sense. Demi (deliberately leaving out the character's name) had been psychologically traumatized as an orphan at 11, and her psyche found a way to handle the trauma through the dream world. Finally reaching self-understanding led me to believe she can finally heal and find a peaceful future. It's a good, entertaining movie.

Less confusing than Comet. Have a few moments to help you along the way but they were too vague. Over all a good souls movie. Worth a watch. Not sure about a rewatch tho.. Unique and Clever story. Nice performances by all!!

Interesting chick flick, that I liked, even though I'm not a big Demi Moore fan, because, after all. I am a chick, albeit an old one, but a chick is a chick for all of her life and never outgrows romance. In fact, the older the chick, the more we need romance, and this flick delivers. If you liked this one, you might also like Firelight.

Intriguing concept, but terrible execution. Demi gives TWO bad performances.

It's a concept that's interesting, yet there's little substance to spread this flick out. 14.6.14
