Rating: 5.0
A delightful and powerful drama portraying the power of love
This is a marvelous movie. It may be taken as a literal or figurative drama depicting man's unhappy fate when he lives his life without attunement to the powerful promptings of his heart. Fortunately, the various couples come to the happy realization of the nature of true love. Demi Moore spendidly plays the role of a clairvoyant whose readings foretell the interactions amongst the characters in a caring New York City micro-community. Amazingly, the core idea of soul-mates is true to the actual situation that developed in humanity's past, as testified to by the true and complete claivoyant from ancient times, Plato. The movie neatly refers to Plato, permitting those illuminated by the movie to look into the matter further. The acting is superb and transparent, all around. One is totally transported into the world the movie creates. A movie with a powerful individuality, a clear five stars. Plain and simply, a charming, powerfully-moving, deeply thought-provoking inspired and inspiring drama. Finally, a movie about reality.
