Mini L One of the most touching movies I’ve ever watched. I cried so hard four times and was in pools of tears by the end! The characters were so well portrayed throughout the film. The plot did leave me questioning what on earth is going on for ages, but I trusted that I’d find out soon enough. Obviously you piece together clues and guess what happened which makes it more engaging throughout the movie. IMO the wait was worth the big reveal at the end. Not sure why it was rated so low by critics. I guess maybe some people like to get a linear storyline with answers sooner than later. I don’t think I’ve cried so hard so many times at the end of a movie! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Audience Member Not the best movie ever made, but the original plot alongside top-notch acting from Smith, Dawson, Pepper, and Harrelson make the movie well worth the watch. Prepare to shed a tear or two. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Miles O I don't get why this has such bad reviews from critics? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review nafiz i Critics confuse me. Give them a straight/linear storyline and they say it's boring. Give them a film about rising from ashes (e.g. Pursuit of happiness) and they say it's too cheery/fairy tail tinted. And then the same ones, when they see, a compassionate, realistic portrayal of a man suffering after his momentary lapse of focus while driving leads to a body count of 7 dead and leaves him scarred for life, they it's too convoluted and give it an aggregate rating of 26 on RT! For me, and given I watched the film a full 16 years after it's release, it was a masterpiece, ably supported by a cast who portray the helplessness and the anxiety that life sometimes puts you in, perfectly. Yet, they all have hope. The blind, vegan call center rep for a meat seller, played with the usual excellence Woody Harrelson brings to all his roles, still hopes to impress the waitress at a local eatery with his piano skills; the girl with a terminal heart condition plays a game of what if with her lover, dreaming of more time and children. And the catalyst for all their dreams: Will Smith. In a performance I would rate as more rounded than his Oscar winning gig, he portrays the role of an Uber successful MIT engineer suddenly hit hard by the reality of the aforementioned accident with heart. He demonstrates both the desire for making amends (by literally helping people with his organs), and the agony of what it means for him humanly. After all, isn't that what we all want: a human story with a touch of miracle, a dash of tragedy and an everyday hero, who starts a mission of redemption for a crime no greater than checking his phone for a couple of seconds while driving? Top class! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Susan B This movie gave me a sleepless night. If you are squeamish like I am, do not watch it. I know it was supposed to be inspiring, but that didn't happen for me. Before the big reveal, it was just confusing. I kept wondering: What is going on, why am I watching this? Even the love story didn't really engage me. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Amazing performance by Will Smith once again. Movie stayed in my head forever. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
