Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great movie for Helen Hunt Fans
Review: This is not just a great movie for fans of Helen Hunt, but it's just a great movie. It covers a wide range of human emotions with brilliant casting, acting, and directing. Do yourself a favour and have a look at 'The Waterdance'.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Exceptional
Review: What a great film! Helen Hunt nude? Forget about that. This is great film-making. Stoltz and Snipes are wonderful in their portrayal of men tragically paralyzed in the prime of their lives. This has romance, drama, comedy, and is truly believable. Great unpredictable ending. I somehow missed this one at the theater. Definatley worth the 14 something they want.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Probably the best movie most people have never seen.
Review: When this movie was first released I was fortunate enough to catch it at an art house movie theater. Had indie films caught on then as they have now, more people would have had the opportunity to see a truly great movie. Funny, intelligent, sad, and empowering, this movie tugs at all of the emotions. If it was not for As Good As It Gets this would be Helen Hunt's best role. Eric Stoltz also has a strong showing, and Wesley Snipes turns out what has to be his best acting job to date. I try to recommend this movie to anyone who says they have never heard of it. One of my top five all time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the first great indy films of the 90's
Review: Yes, Helen Hunt is nude in this, but that's not the only reason to rent it. There are stellar performances from Stoltz, Forsythe, and Wesley Snipes in what probably was his last serious acting role. This film addresses many difficult topics with wit and bite and humor and pathos, but isn't mawkish or pretentious. Very well made, the camera work and music add subtly to the film- the music at one point becomes almost ragtime, a wild choice for a film about people dealing with hospitals. Overall, one of the best unsung films of the last decade. This film won the Best Film Award at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival, and there's a reason for it. Rent it! You won't be sorry.
