This was the slowest moving movie I've ever seen in my life. Anthony Hopkins was good. Still not sure what it was about. Death or something?
They really did try, but Claire Forlani never happened.

Shitty film all the way around. The fact it lasts 3 hours makes it even worse.

Yeah, she never happened.
I do remember I cried and cried at the end. At least she got to say goodbye to her father. 🥺ðŸ˜
I saw it in the theater with a friend back then. She kept looking at me to see if I was okay.

I recall when the movie came out, Entertainment Weekly, or one of the entertainment rags did a quick interview with the screenwriter. He said he didn't know how they managed to make the film three hours. His script was 125 page long.

You would have been better off watch the original, Death Takes A Holiday.

I burst out laughing in the theater when the obvious dummy of Brad Pitt is hit by a van at the beginning of the movie. All downhill from there.

I liked it ok, but Claire Forlani was too squinty.

I watched it for the first time a few months ago and liked it. It's the kind of feel-good drama that they no longer make. Everyone complaining about the length is right, it didn't need to be a solid 3 hours. Can't see myself ever rewatching it.

In 2017, Forlani revealed that she had "escaped" Harvey Weinstein five times, including twice in a hotel, and that she had had a "disgusting" experience with the producer.
She's continued to work, but very routine stuff.

R5 Well everyone is speaking extremely slowly. This was also pre -911 when Americans enjoyed more of a sense of peace, and pre cell phones too.
It's the last of it's kind.

[R6], that's one of my favorite movies although it's quite stagey and outdated.
There was also a TV Movie of the Week remake starring Monte Markham and Yvette Mimieux. Hello
