Should appeal to all ages, but PG-13 rated

Rating: Null/10 (15 September 1998)

I was fortunate enough to see a preview of this movie.
Although it is long, the time seemed to fly by. Anthony Hopkins' performance is magnificent. Brad Pitt was very convincing to me in his dual role, and, to me becomes more gorgeous as he ages. I had seen Claire Forlani in another role, and became a fan after seeing this movie. Marcia Gay Hardin gives a wonderful portrayal as Claire's sister. Jake Weber plays the bad guy so well that I will probably glare at him should I ever see him. Jeff Tambor, whom I have loved on the Larry Sanders Show, showed a new (to me) and tender side in this movie.
Meet Joe Black gives an insightful picture of our society and the problems we all face of aging and human relationships. I recommend it heartily.
