NOT BAD. NOT GOOD EITHER

Got this movie by sheer chance. Was TOTALLY intrigued by the premise. Naturally was expecting a terrific intriguing mind bender. Hmmm cant say i loved it but didnt hate it either. It kept me glued....i wanted something magical to happen. There is an explanation and it is fairly plausible too. It just was not cinematic. There are some stories that are intriguing but ultimately dissatisfying. It's far better than the regular fantasies but it needed one solid idea atleast to elevate, evoke and make the premise work magically.

...but critics hate Demi Moore so it's no surprise really. I personally thought this was a soulful but entertaining film with an interesting premise.

I also was riveted by the development of the premise, but in my case I found the resolution to be brilliant. I found a lot of magic in the end. What Dreams May Come had already explored the mind bending cinematic interpretation, and was such a perfect triumph that it's pointless to try to re-do that approach. I was just as satisfied by the straightforward exploration of equally deep topics in Passion of Mind.

I agree with you - the premise was interesting however I think they gave too much of the plot away quickly so by the end it was just about her determining which life she wanted to be real.

Bit disappointing - I think another actress might have given it a bit more edge, even though Demi Moore is alright in this.
