Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Chrid Mann Isn't it great how people experience things in totally different ways? I just read thru most of the other reviews for this film... Some love it and think the acting is great - others hate it and think the acting is crap! Some love the soundtrack, others find it dead annoying! Some fall in between...Many reviewers praise John Laroquette, saying he gives a great supporting performance. Why? He hardly does anything except come and go on a motorbike or stand in the UNFOCUSED background and wipe glasses in the bar! Patrick Bauchau, who has a lot more screen time, and does a load of action and says a load of stuff, hardly gets a mention! What's that about?In this movie Genevieve Bujold is mousy and unattractive and has clothes and haircut like a boy. Then she puts on a dress, some make-up and slicks her hair back in an oily duck-tail. So now she's sexy, right? Wrong.... just even MORE unattractive!Lesley Anne Warren, on the other hand, can act, is gorgeous, has a great figure, and can really wear clothes and walk in high heels - watching HER makes up for all the rest of the nonsense in this film! Rudolph's earlier, 'Remember my Name', is actually a MUCH better film. Antony Perkins has far more presence than Keith Carradine, and Geraldine Chaplin is just brilliant in that movie. In fact, it would've really perked this film up if Perkins had played Mickey and Chaplin had played Nancy. After all, Mickey's supposed to be a bit crazy and no one can play a bit crazy like Antony Perkins! And Nancy is supposed to be smart and intense and Geraldine Chaplin does smart and intense superbly! Plus she's a lot more attractive!Oh, well, you can't win 'em all...

jrcoxx Since my first viewing of this film, I have never been quite able to get it out of my mind. The principal characters interact in simultaneously theatrical and believable fashions, and Genevieve Bujold as the crazy "Doctor Love" is simply irresistible. David Carradine is a sympathetic nut-case -- not an easy job to pull off, and Lesley Anne Warren is both strong and incredibly vulnerable. If you like a film with continuous contrasts and quirky ensemble cast, this is the movie for you. but don't hold out for a happy ending, even though you might? get one... wonderfully quirky and complex, this film bears many a repeat viewing. You will discover something new every time, nd, if you pay close attention, is sure to become a favorite.

caa821 I suppose like most persons who access IMDb, sometimes I want simply to get some information on a movie, title or principal. Other times it's to enter comment on a particular film or show, sometimes just to browse, and sometimes to do some combination of these.Having just seen this film again, I looked at some of the previous comments first. One was made by "budmassey" more than 4-1/2 years ago, and is probably one of the best reviews of a film - professional or amateur, lengthy or brief - I've ever seen.If anyone happens upon this one, please look at his. I agree with him totally - and this film truly encompasses ALLUSION, NUANCE and SEXUAL ENERGY (without any prurient aspects for the latter) as well as any piece of entertainment, ever.Keith Carradine and Lesley Ann Warren are two of the most talented, interesting and engaging actors I've ever seen - and I have enjoyed each one's performance in any film or television production I've seen.Genevieve Bujold and all of the picture's remaining cast are also outstanding, and in addition to "budmassey"'s adjectives, I'd add that this film, throughout, is one of the most ENGROSSING you'll find.

denmn Director alan rudolph is what is commonly termed an "eccentric. his films are decidely off-center, with characters ruled by quirks and odd obsessions, a committed stable of actors who appear from film to film, a sense of narrative stucture i would describe, charitably, as "loose" and funny, overlapping dialogue- all characteristics he learned from his former associate and master robert altman. when his films don't "work", which is a little better than half the time, it is like poor altman...the debts are too obvious and the deficits as well. but when the mystical alchemy of such a loose, character-driven structure do come together, such as in this film, the result is peerless (even when one of the peers in question is altman, one of the best directors the world has ever produced). choose me has a plot, rife with conicidence, fit for a screwball comedy but its tone, and the charcters in it, wander through it each in his/'her own romantic/personal reverie and the machinations of the plot seem less like a constructed device and more, as keith carradine's mickey states at on point, "just like a dream".carradine, genvieve bujold, lesley anne warren, patrick bachau and rae dawn chong populate this world, each sad, each lonely and each bearing a burden of loss and pain, meeting and making love, and attacking (sometimes violently) as if according to some inner romantic logic only they hear. ther'es pain, there's loss, there are past mysteries and dark actions only hinted at and, strangely enough in the end...there is hope. which is what love, at its heart, truly consists of. red neon, teddy pendergrass, rain-slicked streets at 2am, a first, unexpected kiss, old movie posters, tough guys bested by tougher guys, an unending cascade of full red, hair, a sudden gunshot and an ending as weird and uncertain as love itself followed by the smile of one who, against all logic succumbs to hope. the most romantic movie ever made. period.
