Between (2005)

Most of the reviews I see on the movie "Between" are TOO analytical. Take the movie for what it is. I am an average occasional movie viewer and I thought this movie was quite thought provoking regarding reality, dreams, and moments of subconsiousness... even if there were scenes of bad acting/editing for the "movie critics". The fact that the movie is so broken and dicy lends to more and various interpretations... which I think makes the movie worthwhile for discussion. I have viewed this movie three times and I still feel like I need to see it again to pick up on clues that I may have previously missed. Give it a break! One final note.... The movie could have taken on a completely different religious significance if the mom reading to the daughter flashbacks would have been from Psalm 23:4 and/or Luke 1:78-79.

Ignore most of the reviews and ratings here, because they are pretty silly.About two thirds of the votes are currently roughly equal for 10, 2 and 1 (all 20+), with votes from 3-9 essentially in the 4-7 range. It isn't that good, it isn't that bad. It's pretty mediocre, but watchable if you like plot twists and there is nothing better on.To everybody who voted 1 or 2 to plummet the rating, shame on you. To the silly people who submitted the glowing reviews, shame on you thrice.To those that haven't seen it yet, give it a chance on TV if you don't have many choices. But don't bother recording or renting. 5/10.

When Between began, I thought I had it all figured out. A girl goes to Tijuana to find her missing sister. She has some psychic connection to her and her dreams lead her to the truth about the disappearance. Boy, was I wrong. This movie is nothing like I expected.I thought that Poppy Montgomery was great in the role. I really like her as an actress and she's the main reason I watched the movie. I was pleasantly surprised to see Adam Kaufman playing her husband as I'm also a fan of his. They are completely believable as a loving couple who support each other in their time of need. The mystery that unravels as the film goes on always keeps you guessing. Every time you think you have this movie pegged, you're wrong. It's hard to describe without giving too much away. I don't want to spoil it for anybody.The locations they shoot at are beautiful. You really get a sense of what it's like for this girl to wander through a strange city, interacting with people who speak another language, getting even more confused with every step she takes. All the people she runs into are really interesting characters. They all seem to be hiding something.I really think this movie is one of a kind. I can only think of a few others that could even fall into the same category, but nothing even come close to the tone of this movie. There are very few endings to movies that I absolutely love, even though they're kind of hard to accept. This is one of them. You don't quite see it coming, but after everything, it's the only way it could have ended. I was not surprised to hear this movie premiered at Sundance. I wish I'd heard of it before and rented it instead of watching it on Lifetime. I'm sure the original cut is even better than the TV version.If it's not clear by now, I loved this movie. I felt like they cast the best people for the roles and the overall mood of the film was pitch-perfect. Most movies that try to recreate a dream almost always fails. This one succeeds in every way. It easily could have turned into one giant cliché, but it never did. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a suspenseful mystery, a psychological thriller, or a love story that won't disappoint.

When I discovered that a 2005 film was appearing on TV, it was a sure sign that this film was going to be a complete BOMB and it sure was from beginning to the very end. Nadine Roberts is a very attractive married gal who is very much in love with her husband and is a lawyer from Chicago, Illinois. Nadine's husband tells her about a nice home he is going to look at and describes the house in detail and explained there was even room for a child they just might want to bring into this world. You can see that Nadine is troubled about something and tells her husband she wants to go to Mexico and find her sister she has not seen in a long time. The reason for this decision was the fact that Nadine was having bad dreams concerning her sister and that she needed her help. The entire picture goes around in circles and many flash backs with many people involved down in Mexico. This is definitely a Lost Picture with a Lost Soul as the main character.
