Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Don't Believe the Hype

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I am SO glad I stumbled across "Felicia's Journey', as it is a fantastic diabolical thriller that reminds you of the films from the late-great Alfred Hitchcock!I am intentionally not going into specifics about the rich, incredible story-line of this film. I do not want to alert the viewer to the shocks and gasps that one will unexpectedly encounter throughout the entire course of this movie! Saying it is both phenomenal and brilliant would be a major understatement.Highly, highly recommend! 🎞

I watched this film about 6 years ago when I was Felicia's age, and I have never seen anything so depressing. I felt so down after watching this horrible film and I hated all men. Felicia's journey totally makes you see how scummy some men can be and I'm not talking about the old man that tried to kill her, I mean the lowlife that slept with her, promised to keep in touch then doesn't. If you're going to use and abuse a 17 year old girl at least have the decency not to knock her up in a country where abortion is illegal! Then of course there was the user's horrible mother who was trying to keep Felicia away from him, then there was Felicia's killer friend who sees the user shes looking for but doesn't tell Felicia, at one point they all end up in the same pub together but he says nothing hoping Felicia wont see. It was so depressing. The only decent thing the killer does is get Felicia the abortion. Felicia never does get reunited with the user who knocked her up which makes it even more depressing, even though by the end of the film shes over him.

A girl gets knocked up, and an old dude hangs himself. In between, there is a lot of talking in a language very similar to English.Eventually, in a furious spate of action, the old guy digs up a purse, two ladies babble at him, and he unlocks a door.I especially liked the scenes where everyone wandered around with no obvious purpose. I'm glad that they included so many of them. When they combined the lack of movement with the lack of dialog, it really made the movie a masterpiece.This is a movie for anyone who likes kitchens.One star for making a perfect movie for that tough 3 a.m. time slot.

I came to "Felicia's Journey" without advance knowledge of the film. The Verizon FiOS program information describes it simply as, "A young woman leaves rural Ireland to search for the man who got her pregnant." It also listed two cast members: Bob Hoskins and Arsinee Khanjian. FiOS doesn't even mention Elaine Cassidy who does such an outstanding job as the title character, the female lead. The description did not even categorize the film as a drama of comedy.I chose to save this on my DVR because I usually like films that Bob Hoskins agrees to be in. I had not heard of Arsinee Khanjian or her husband, the director Atom Egoyan.I suggest that I was fortunate to not have advance knowledge. Early in the film I realized that Joe Hilditch (Hoskins) was unusual. He seems to run the lunch room of a heavy industry factory, but has the title of "catering manager;" although he is not the head chef of a four star restaurant, he is presented as a culinary expert of great sensitivity. Yet despite his obvious culinary expertise, at home he prepares meals while following along with a TV cooking show. In other words, this is a complex character, someone you are interested in learning more about.That is probably about as much as you should know about this film before you watch it for the first time. Oh, one more thing - it is not a comedy.
