For Carl

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 1999)

This movie came to me at exactly the right time in my life. Actually, I think that it just may have come to all of us at exactly the right time. On the cusp of the millennium, there has been a (documented) resurgence in things spiritual, and this movie (based on Dr. Sagan's life-long commitment to reconciling the spiritual and the scientific), has something quite important to say. Don't invite the neighbors and their kids over to watch this one as a rental. Buy the DVD (and the DVD player, if it comes to that) and watch it (multiple times!) in the wee hours by yourself. That's whom it's meant for.
