This is one of my favorite TV movies. I watch Lifetime quite often as they have some good mysteries, but am not normally impressed with the quality of the movies in the sense they mostly seem to be formulaic (and often overtly or ambivalently anti-male). This however is a TERRIFIC movie. Though part mystery, part fantasy, it is very realistic and emotionally seductive. Bell is VERY believable and sympathetic (and also beautiful). For once in an LMN movie the males are not totally stupid, insensitive or uncaring. I loved the ending when I found the apparently "bad" guy (who looked menacing and scary) was actually a hero. The twists and turns were not only surprising but touching. Rarely have I FELT so much in a movie. It raises some disturbing issues but resolves in a positive but believable way. I purchased this on DVD as it is a movie I can watch over and over. The soundtrack reinforces the uncertainty and the emotions, the acting is uniformly good, the script very believable (though addressing supernatural or paranormal issues), the direction crisp and production values relatively high. I recommend this to anyone who likes FEEL GOOD movies and can handle a little bit of fantasy.
... View MoreI am not normally a TV movie fan but this one kept me riveted from the start and left me an emotional puddle at the end! I saw the trailers and was expecting one thing but the story turned out to be something entirely different. There was nothing predictable or formulaic about it, that's for sure! The only minor criticism I have is with some of the secondary character actors...slightly overacted at times, but the story line/writing more than made up for the minor distraction. Was this an original screenplay or adapted from a book? I have a feeling the book would be even better because there seemed to be a lot of symbolism and detail that could have been missed if you weren't paying close attention in the movie (and could have been more significant/dramatic in book form). Loved the movie...I'd buy the book!
... View MoreI loved this movie. I am trying to buy it, but it may be too early. I wanted others to see it. Dramas like this are not in the theater. The last movie I saw that was this good of a drama was "Something the Lord Made", but that was a different topic. This story is suspenseful, and once you get to the end you will want to see it again. Add to it, the elemnets of truth of stories that really happen...that makes this so real. C. Bell was amazing. I didn't realize she did "The Triangile". So, I will really look for her now. Loved this story and don't want to give away anything. The shocking part is that this could be a true story. The pieces all fit together after you see it.
... View MoreI honestly wasn't a Lifetime channel watcher because the movies are always the same, but this one knocked me out. It was better than most I've seen in theaters. I thought I solved the mystery a couple times, but was wrong. Talk about plot twists! And everything added up at the end. The acting was very good across the board. Catherine Bell was great, totally believable and played the role very sympathetically on many levels without that typical Lifetime blubbering. I hadn't seen much of her before this. (I never saw Jag, but remember her from Bruce Almighty) We talked about the movie for twenty minutes after it ended, going over how things added up (like the Sixth Sense)and it really did add up. If you haven't seen it...PAY ATTENTION! There's one part we couldn't figure out...I won't spoil, had to do with losing some hair, but that's all I'll say, so I'm definitely watching it again to relive all those moments and figure that one out too. I never write comments on these sites. A+
