    This 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.

    I 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. 🥰🎞️🎥🥰

    This 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.

    Such an incredible film and incredible cast to say the least. It has aged well.

    great opening sequence that promises a fun film, then descends into thespian hell. Awful.
  • dpingel1September 26, 2025
    A long and complex movie, had some great characters but was hard to follow at times

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