Better Late Then Never

Absolutely Fantastic

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I saw this film this evening on tv. Not bad as the rating suggests, but I admit it is nothing extraordinary and the twist at the end is kinda ... unexpected in not so good way. Usually the twists that are hard to imagine a very good thing, but somehow in this film, it is too strached out ...So it turns out that she is dead, but she did not know she is dead all the time - how? Just how? Did I miss something? She meets a guy in the plane and they are a minute later - what? Long time lovers?Besides this obvious let downs - it is entertaining for Saturday night.8 from me - or 7,6

My expectations for this film was not so high when i checked the ratings, however i enjoyed watching the movie ,its was good and better then the crap films of those days It's rather a mystery film with a little of suspense, and at times scenes don't really make sense, but they do as film moves on. The end of the films is spectacular ! its worth watching!

It has been noted elsewhere that some reviews reveal some of the plot of this film, if only indirectly. I shall not do that here."Passengers" might best be described as a psychological mystery, because much is made of the psychological states of the characters. The main character, Claire (Anne Hathaway), is a counselor who works with people suffering from PTSD. She is assigned a group of plane crash survivors.Her sessions with the survivors make her more aware of her own life choices. And she feels an air of mystery surrounding the crash itself and how the airline is dealing with the aftermath.As usual, Anne Hathaway is great in her role. The entire cast is, really. Co-star Patrick Wilson--who I was unfamiliar with--is fun to watch as a quirky crash survivor who challenges Claire, making her examine herself.It is difficult to tell if some holes in the story are really just red herrings, but either way it is fun to unravel its mystery.

...but I was very affected by this film. It was inspired by another film, but I can't give you the name as it will spoil the movie for you. You'll know if you watch it.Anne Hathaway is Claire, a counselor who is assigned by her boss (Andre Braugher) to help survivors of a plane crash. One of the survivors, Eric, seems not to have been bothered at all, but he makes an appointment to see Claire privately. For the others, she sets up a group therapy session.We see Claire as a dedicated career woman with a nosy neighbor (Dianne Weist), and she seems to be on the outs with her sister, whom she is trying to reach. Eric proves to be problematic. Since the accident, he's become quite the daredevil and encouraging her to be the same way; he shows up at her apartment late at night; and she's falling for him.Less and less people show up to the therapy sessions, and Claire wonders about the man hovering outside during the sessions, who seems to be from the airline. She begins to suspect a conspiracy - he is too interested in peoples' accounts of the crash, which differ from the party line, and she thinks he may have something to do with the passengers disappearing.This is a slow film, but stay with it. It's quite powerful. Anne Hathaway gives a lovely performance as Claire, and Patrick Wilson is effective and likable as Eric, resembling a young Paul Newman.I admit I shed some tears. Don't listen to the twenty-something year-old guys who populate IMDb (unless you're one yourself; then by all means, listen to them). Just enjoy the movie.
