Summary: A seventies movie for the new millennium
Review: I rented this video as I like the combination of Nick Nolte and and especially Julie Christie who we do not see much of these days. But this is a relaxing movie definitely an afterglow over a bottle of red wine. I thought the acting was good and the film had a relaxed feel about it but never boring. Overall if you wish to see a leisurely well acted film on perhaps a moonlit evening then this is for you. Julie Christie has never been this good since "Don't look now".

Summary: Great Acting, Great Story
Review: I thought the movie was great overall. The story is very deep and moving, nicely woven, and even though Nick Nolte might not have had the 'sexy' look required for his part, I think he more than compensated for it with his aura. The movie engages you from start to finish and Julie Christie was amazing. Rent it, especially if you're in the mood for something romantic, yet different in its take from a lot of what is out there today.

Summary: A bittersweet tale of marriage and infidelity.
Review: Julie Christie can convey more emotions with a single glance, or a drag from a cigarette, than any actress in recent cinema history. Pity that we do not see more of her on the screen, and how sad it is that she lost the Academy Award to Helen Hunt in her "made-for-TV" performance in "As Good As It Gets." Fine performances by the ensemble cast.

Summary: Magical tale of love lost & re-discovered
Review: Ok, so it took my second attempt to see it all the way through, but boy was it worth it! Christie is magical in her portrayal. Not to be missed. Not for one seeking a creampuff light romance.

Summary: A Julie Christie Triumph
Review: Okay, so its flawed, especially in casting Nick Nolte as the man about town. His appeal is not very believable although he and Johnny Lee Miller do finally find their groove in their scenes opposite Christie. Miller tries hard to make some sense of his elliptically written character, and looks so good that one hardly cares when his lines are ludicrous.The real treasure in the movie are its actresses. Julie Christie and Lara Flynn Boyle do all that they can with what's written for them (at times, a little too much), and Christie really manages to give this movie a heart and soul. She should have won the Oscar (but lost to Helen Hunt playing Helen Hunt in As Good As it Gets). Christie is arguably our most cinematic actress. One cannot imagine how she would emote on stage. Her face conveys everything, said and unsaid, hidden and obvious, and in playing for the camera as only she can do, she does for this movie what she did for Dr. Zhivago: she gives it a little life. See it, you won't be sorry. Nice mellow music, too....

Summary: Another brilliant, whimsical triumph from Alan Rudolph
Review: Once again, Alan Rudolph shows why he is one of the best directors working in film. As a result of superb casting, a wonderful script, and gorgeous photography, he has managed to capture once again the contradictions of modern life and love. Immensely entertaining, this film picks up where his "Love at Large" left off. This film will entertain everyone with its sense of joie de vivre and irony.

Summary: Alan Rudolph doing what he does best.
Review: There's something about an Alan Rudolph movie. Perhaps its that nearly everyone of his films at one time or another have landed on the "Most Meaningless Films of All-Time" list. Maybe its that he's incapable of getting a film made without the tossings of his mentor Robert Altman. Perhaps it's just that in over 25 years of filmmaking I can name not one Alan Rudolph film that was neither a sellout (the ruination of a Bud Shrake script-Songwriter), or limp self-indulgence (The Moderns, Equinox, Mrs Parker) I came to Afterglow solely to see the performance of Julie Christie. We miss her so much as she's shied from being more active in films during this decade. As always she is radiant, memories of Darling and Shampoo rush to mind immediately. The sad part is that at first look, the idea of young disinterested couple + older disinterested couple = 2 hot to trot couples, sounds intriguing. In the right hands there are definitely possibilities here. In Alan Rudolph's hands we have Julie Christie, and a cloud of dust. (or is that pile of dust?) So get the film put your finger on FF, pausing only to watch the divine Ms. Christie. Believe me you'll not miss a thing of substance, you WILL get your money's worth, and you'll save yourself a good hour and a half. I hear that Mr. Rudolph will next tackle "Breakfast of Champions". The way I figure it doesn't take an advanced degree in differential calculus to determine that RUDOLPH+VONNEGUT+BRUCE WILLIS=0.

Summary: Ahhh, Julie!
Review: This movie is often downright irritating - coy, ham-fisted and obvious. Lara Flynn Boyle gives one of the most annoying performances I've ever seen. To my mind, the only worthwhile aspect of it, worth 3 stars for her alone, is the chance to glory in Julie Christie's presence for two hours. She is vastly superior to her material here, and plays with such subtlety, intelligence and nuance that you forget all about the rest of the movie. How unfortunate that she does not work more often, and how foolish of today's ridiculously youth-obsessed film industry not to court this magical screen presence who illuminates any film she participates in.

Summary: An smart odd film about Romance.
Review: When a Key Repairman (Nick Nolte) cheats on his Attractive Wife (Julie Chrsitie in a Oscar Nominated Role), a has been actress for a younger woman (Lara Flynn Boyle) but when his wife cheats on a handsome young man (Jonny Lee Miller), who dates the younger woman and the Realationship gets Complicated. Written and Directed by Alan Rudolph (Mortal Thought, Breakfest of Champions) shows a Strong Dramatic Comedy about Love and Redemption. Julie Christine gives a Strong Role gives the film:Best Asset. Grade:A.
Rating:
Summary: An good example on cheating and lost love.
Review: Writer and director-Alan Rudolph did a good job on that subject. Good Locations in Montr?al. Terrific Performances from Nick Notle, Julie Christine in a Oscar Nominated Performance For Best Actress, Lara Flynn Bolye and Jonny Lee Miller. The film is not always satisfy with. With Good Laugh, touching Scenes and Drama, makes this film memorable.
