Alec Fenton, an American by adoption and his wife, Marjorie, an American of Greek origin, live with their two children in Athens. Both Alec's business life and his tender relationships with his daughter are guided by a playful but deeply felt need to interpret the smallest details of the world as significant. Under the influence of powerful signs and premonitions, Alec allows himself to veer in and out of a love affair with a colleague, Katherine, eventually leaving his family and returning to America with his lover. Once there, however, the same belief system urges him back home for one final attempt to win back his family. But his new quest is endangered by the presence of a political activist, Andreas, in his family's life. Andreas becomes the victim of a series of incidents, each one more threatening than the last.
Leave your thoughts about Signs & Wonders.
| Boston GlobeLoren KingHas extraordinary depth and insight about the limitations and follies of human beings. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasAbounds in psychological suspense and plays like a mystery film, even though the mystery at hand may be purely one of the human heart. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzFeels like a film that could have been shot by Nicolas Roeg. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakThough Signs & Wonders loses its bubbles and runs flat in its anticlimactic final moments, it's far more inventive and demanding than any movie of recent memory. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardThe best performance is by Rampling. (The) camera hangs on her, knowing that nothing escapes those wise, sad-lidded eyes. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanJonathan Nossiter's second feature (after the intricate and haunting ''Sunday'') strikes unnerving chords of mystery and dismay as it fuses the sinister, jump cut dislocations of a metaphysical thriller like ''Don't Look Now'' with a pain soaked meditation on love, guilt, marriage, and adultery. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAs a drama about the ravages of mental illness, the movie works; too bad most of the critics read it only as a romantic soap opera in which the hero is an obsessive sap. They read the signs but miss the diagnosis. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonBeautifully acted film remains deeply intelligent and always fascinating. |
| Film ScoutsJason GorberDanger: when your suspense film ends and you don't care who really did "it", whatever "it" is, you might want to rethink the plot. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghSpare and coolly evocative, it's a chilling accomplishment. |
