After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Beautiful film. I've watched it over and over and over. It's a favorite of mine. The music always grabs my heart and the trials they go through to god eachother is real struggles we all go through and give up. It's just what you dream of that you meet someone to connect this way with. It's like the first time all the time.

I love this film. For those of us who have ever felt a little bit of "heaven" in our lives, this film feels very real. First, the settings on earth in what appear to be the 1950's seem quite real, for earth at the time. Then there's "heaven", shown to be a fantastical loving highly evolved place that exists only to inspire us here on earth to believe in ourselves, in something better, to have faith in a more positive future. Then our return from heaven to earth, with hope in our hearts and faith in our souls, ready to fight the fight we all must face while living our human lives. With what the heart feels in the form of pure love being the most profound and respected by those watching us from above. I highly recommend.

I read the guidelines and they recommended me not to say anything regarding to others comments, but I just wanna say to those who thinks this film is "boring"; Have you ever thought that on the second half of the film is supposed to be "everyday-life"? The director seems to playing on the contrast between heaven and earth. Heaven is "perfect" and never a dull moment, while earth is a difficult place to live and we are bored stiff sometimes. I have to admit that the director hasn't thought every detail trough. He could have made this movie much better, if he focused more about the souls as he does when they are in heaven. Examples; what makes us the one we turn out to be? played more with our ideas we take back with us(like the song "we never danced") from heaven. What I'm saying is that it seems the director was rushing the film to be released in the end of production. Although the film has these small "flaws", I think the film gets extra stars for originality, and it definitely touched me in some ways I can't describe. - The boring second half, is a portrayal of life and it's flaws-.

Something like this needs to be whimsical, and this is very heavy-handed. It starts out flat stays that way. I was optimistic in spite of the negative reviews because of the cast, but the cast isn't at fault. The look and tone of the movie are uniformly depressing, and the story is not at all engaging. I was very disappointed by this movie...
