Somewhere in Time Movie Review

Somewhere in Time

I promise that any emotional person with a heart will enjoy Somewhere in Time. I've never seen a film so passionately yet still so innocently portray the force of absolute, all-encompassing, unconditional love, from the opening scene in the theater to the unbelievably moving final scene.

The plot is so simple, but that is precisely what makes it so beautiful. Richard Collier, a man without love in what seems to be a pleasant enough life, is fascinated by Elise McKenna's painting and journeys back in time using only the force of his spirit. When he arrives, he searches for Elise and meets her. Because of her boss, W.F. Robinson, Elise is perplexed and does not react right away, but she soon returns Richard's affection. I won't mention anything more than that the ending made me feel both warm and sad at the same time. You'll be hard pressed to find a film with less of a storyline, and there are several unresolved questions, but that's fine because Somewhere in Time is unreal, almost dreamlike. The emphasis isn't on watching activities, but on actually feeling passion.
