Summary: Facts & Comments,
Review: 1. Extremely fascinating to watch.

2. Excellent video throughout.

3. Offers a look into the psyche of a man learning about himself and own needs as oppose to everyone elses.

Intense emotional reactions followed by self-realization and drama. This is definitely worth viewing. (saw it on cable television & will buy).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Too real to be entertaining for most people!
Review: A lovely movie with much to say about men and women; sexuality, self awareness, and hope. The story's vehicle, that being sexual dysfunction due to molestation, is tragic; however, this movie speaks in an intelligent and genuine voice about trust, respect and intimacy. On the lighter side -- maybe those looking for a thrill will be educated.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must see to awaken humanity
Review: A true sleeper of a movie. A movie that needs to sit on oneself to gain the truest sense of its message. Profoundly disturbing, if only to awaken society to the manifestations and devestations of the abused. The musical score is profoundly moving, and quite fitting to the intense emotion of this film. Sidereally refers to an eastern path of seeking the divine and healing within.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not blissful in the least!
Review: After all the hype about Bliss, I had to see it. The reviews told of an erotic tale of a couple with marital problems. I found it quite disturbing. Not because of the abundance of nudity and sexuality. Because the movie centers around the childhood sexual abuse of the wife, for which she is in therapy. I found the movie had nothing to offer me, other than a huge case of depression. I suggest to anyone who has suffered the same trauma as the wife in this film, to not see it, because YOU will most likely end up needing therapy! It is hard to find anything erotic about a film in which the lead character is in a constant state of trauma! I do not reccomend this film. If I could have given it zero stars, I would have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A work of Art
Review: Bliss is a theraputic film that will bring every emotion to the forefront. I got angry, I laughed, I cried, I analized. You must have a keen eye and ear for metaphors and other symbolisms. Yet, this movie is straight forward and revealing of the honest truth of what sex is all about in a marriage when one partner has been sexually abused. A must see for any married couple whether there is sexual abuse involved or not.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: bliss
Review: Bliss is literally bliss. When I first saw it, i thought immediately was an awseme movie. No, it is not a first date movie, but defineatly get the jucies flowing for lovers. Not only are sex scenes explicit, but it has an awseme story line and plot. I love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: YOUR LIFE IS SHOWIN'!
Review: Blunt, powerful, thought-provoking film about how little we know women and how much we boast we do. A masterful performance by Stamp, and a great body by Lee! Although I think the child abuse theme was unnecessary and should've been skipped (not all sexual disfunctions are due to it), the movie is a MUST to everyone who truly loves someone else, and it will certainly make you think twice about your sexual -and not-sexual- behavior.

P.S. Take it from me, first watch it by yourself; don't bring your date!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pleasantly surprised
Review: I don't remember the release to theaters of "Bliss'. The only reason I went for it was the association of Leigh Taylor-Young who I think is a fantastic actress.

As another person has stated I have only the reservation that the sexual disfunction in the story is related to sexual abuse but in light of how the story is otherwise handled by both actors and the director that winds up being a minor 'nit' for me.

I found the actors to be totally believable and engrossing. All the sets fit. I forgot to look where it was filmed though. The photography and lighting set the moods very well.

This isn't a heavy breathing porno it's a very viable story of people with problems that so many seem to have and so few are willing to talk about.

It should be required viewing at possibly a college level. OK, not required. For some folks the word "Sex" sends them into a tizzie.

I was ver impressed by this video. But who do I tell?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Beer and Popcorn Movie
Review: I first saw this movie on cable and later was able to pick upaused copy at Blockbuster. Definitely worth it...as the film exploresan area that standard hollywood fare doesn't ---- tantric sex practices. A great beer and popcorn movie that's you'll talk about and, hopefully, act out after the film is over. This is the stuff STING claims keeps him going for 12 hours. As long as the film doesn't take itself too seriously its enjoyable - the sex is pretty good, the acting good enough, and the dialogue almost laughable considering the subject. I do think the sexual abuse side plot revealed at the end was unneccessary but doesn't hurt the overall theme. I guess the author/director couldn't come up with a problem strong enought to cause the female lead to seek out a sexologist so he went with the old reliable theme of sexual abuse. This film is best watched as a pop primer on advanced sexual practices.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Intellectual
Review: I found no weakness in this movie. I've seen too many poor, yet popular films lately. What a relief to find a truly realistic, intellctual film about a tough subject filmed so well. I am a physician and was moved by "bliss"
