- neuroparadoxNovember 17, 2025I haven't seen this since it came out 25 years ago; glad I chose to rewatch because it's amazing. Funny how a little life experience will offer a whole new experience with film sometimes. 🥰🎞️🎥🥰
- thehave1January 25, 2026This is a movie with good acting but the story or scrip is too long and unrestricted. This direcor is not my cop of tea at all.
- Adam BartoloJune 2, 2025One of PTA's best
- nicolai108January 15, 2026This flick is a pure masterpiece. The stories of the different characters are told in an exciting and believable way. Each of the storylines could be a stand-alone movie, but the unique cutting makes it more and more intense as it goes on.
- Be McCuneNovember 20, 2025Such an incredible film and incredible cast to say the least. It has aged well.
- hairydemonOctober 11, 2025great opening sequence that promises a fun film, then descends into thespian hell. Awful.

- DisentAugust 23, 2025ending ruined any positive intention the movie had with it's clear attempts at emotional manipulation - did it make you cry? lol
