Although the cause may be noble, the end effect is decidedly less rewarding.

A film stumbling again and again while marking the notes of comedy, fantasy and drama with sound clichs. [Full review in Spanish]

Cinemanía (Spain)

A film with a premise without any interest, unthinking spirituality and a staging below the very poor. [Full review in Spanish]

A fantasy, and a truly BEAUTIFUL film. A somewhat familiar "looming-death" plot; fine script, especially Abigail's; very well cast; very well acted; gorgeous location. I was a basket case at the end, and even more when the Paul Newman credits appeared.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Hopeful. Sorry for those who didn't enjoy because of what/ how they think.

The pretending to be a lesbian storyline made me want to throw things. Just ridiculous!
