Leave your thoughts about A Rumor of Angels.
| Film Journal InternationalShirley SealyFor those with an aversion to such sentimentality, especially when associated with the spirit world, Vanessa Redgrave is still reason enough to see A Rumor of Angels. |
| New TimesGregory WeinkaufThe extra-short length is puzzling -- about half an hour has been lopped off the length of the original Canadian release -- but what remains feels whole and wholly satisfying, a rare, successful merging of the obvious and the haunting. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDespite good acting from the entire cast, yarn is a bit dull and predictable, straining too hard to convey its spiritual message. |
| Village VoiceWendy LeeThe pat reconciliations among family members start to pile up like so much driftwood along the beach. |
| Fantastica DailyStaci Layne WilsonThe actors are fantastic. They are what makes it worth the trip to the theatre. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawLong on twinkly-eyed close-ups and short on shame. |
| CitysearchMichael PhillipsThe problem with movies about angels is they have a tendency to slip into hokum. A Rumor of Angels doesn't just slip -- it avalanches into forced fuzziness. |
| User ReviewKevin Mthis movie is the best ever it made me cry!! |
| User ReviewDerek CIt is such a beautiful movie. It is a "sleeper-hit" as called by a professional review that I once read. To be honest, I was moved to tears when I first saw it. I was surprised, but the plot and character development was so beautiful that one couldn't expect otherwise really. This movie ranks on one of my favorite of all time. It is hard to be disappointed by the outstanding acting and story. Everyone should see this movie, in my opinion. |
| User ReviewMichael PSuch a great movie, it's really sad also. |
