Movie Reviews

Parallax View - 8/10 by Sean Axmaker... prime film noir from 1946, a dark romance that stirs darkness into melodrama with the story of a kleptomaniac (Laraine Day) on her wedding day...
User Review - 10/10 by Erin Carson BTop-notch noir featuring a flashback within a flashback, needs to come out on DVD!
User Review - 8/10 by Scott Rthis is some awesome film noir & it has something I've not seen anywhere else, it's flashbacks have flashbacks makes u really work to get it.
User Review - 8/10 by Raymond Nloved it! I did not find it difficult to follow until I read the review below! Yet, I thought it was provocative and intriguing.
User Review - 8/10 by Tara HThis is a wonderful, crazy, intricate film--the only thing that would have made it truly awesome is Barbara Stanwyck in the lead. Laraine Day is fine, but just close enough in appearance and mannerism that she feels like a poor substitute for the clearly superior (to everyone) Babs.
User Review - 8/10 by Alberto FInteresting psychological thriller with great use of flashbacks.
User Review - 6/10 by Art SLaraine Day seems too good to be true...because she's a sociopath. However, her fiancé doesn't know the dark truth about her and it is up to Brian Aherne, her former husband and psychiatrist (of course), to tell him. When Aherne shows up on the wedding day, he isn't welcomed but he still gets to tell his tale which famously involves a flashback within a flashback within a flashback. The middle flashback is offered by none other than a young Robert Mitchum, as an artist who once romanced Day and caught her stealing and lying and maybe murdering. Somehow he tells Ahern about one of Day's own childhood memories that is seen in flashback. No one is sure if any of these narrators is reliable and Day denies it all until the end. The psychologizing is all a bit too pat and the film contains at least one leap of logic but otherwise it is a solid noir-ish drama.
User Review - 6/10 by Nick SThere's plenty of intrigue throughout about Day's obsession with stealing lockets, it is a shame the ending is a lame let-down.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael TJohn Brahm's moody film noir is notorious as the movie with a flashback inside of a flashback inside of a flashback.
