Another Day (2001)

Simply Perfect

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

If 'Another Day' is slow and drags for some, it certainly didn't for me. Perhaps I like slow - it allows opportunity to savour the developing plot, and to appreciate the varying relationships between the players. I've only seen this once on TV, but broadly agree with the accuracy of the competent plot summary submitted by Forest R. While I understand that the plot could appear confusing, I thought it made good sense and would reward anyone willing to put a bit of work into it.There are quite a number of flashbacks, but they were used intelligently to link and illuminate points in the plot. My own feeling is that they were not overdone, and are a necessary part of the movie. One hears about 'out of body'/'near death' experiences, and I think this is what is being suggested happened to Kate after Meghan fell into the river, with the added twist of a time warp. This threw light on the truth about the fatal factory fire that occurred a few years previously, an integral part of the story. It was interesting to see two Kates at both showings of the fire - one outside and one inside the factory, each aware of the other. The Kate inside would presumably have coalesced with the Kate seen dragging herself out of the river at the end of her 'out of body' experience on the second showing of her rescue when she was found in 'reality' by the river patrol officer. At the start of the experience and its subsequent events, she was found by Paul as well, this being a mystery as we know Paul was dead years before the river incident. In passing, the duplication of the unique item made by mother and daughter in Meghan's craft class, worn by both David and Kate at the same time, struck me as very neat!My main motivation for adding to the adequate reviews for this title is to put on record what a treat it is to watch a film of attractive characters working out a thoughtful storyline without resorting to foul language, smut or blasphemies. This is a wholesome offering, well acted and directed, and based on ideas which are cleverly presented. I can see no grounds for docking even one of its ten stars. Sadly, this is the real world, so there must be a fly in the ointment somewhere. I discovered the miserable insect when I searched for the DVD. There isn't one at this point in time! I was particularly hoping that there would be subtitles, clear but discreet, and possibly a director's audio commentary which would have been particularly pleasing. Why, oh why, don't film-makers give us the decent films on DVD besides showing them on TV and at the cinema? Reviewers of this title seem broadly agreed on its merits, so I would have thought it only sensible to make it available for home viewing. My wife and I would love to watch it again. This is a movie of real quality.

I Loved it made me cry so much and also made me want to move to USA!!! where was it located anyone know??? please watch if you get the chance bast film I've seen for months even years!!! So good I even got somebody to pick up my daughter from school as I couldn't miss the ending! Brilliant acting by every single member. Where can I buy as I would watch that film again and again.... Wonderfully set and made me want to get on the next aeroplane to USA ans the part they were filming in... Definitely Shannan Dougherty's best acting ever, you real get that lovely warm feeling whilst watching it, makes me go all warm inside thinking of how loved and in love the character's are

This is quite unlike any TV movie I have seen in a long time. From the outset, the sense of impending doom is omnipresebt, signified by the lead character's retrospective, all-knowing narration which sets the story up for the viewer as a tale of two parts and two people, united by a common theme - love. Shannen Doherty gives a powerful performance, as well as her co-stars. The problem I had with this movie was the fact it felt restricted by its TV movie conventions, even though it tried in vain to emulate a Sundance-style independent drama. I was impressed by its intentions but less so by the intrusive music which often spoiled the sense of eerie mysticism that was conveyed so well through the fluid cinematography.

OK people- i admit the film did drag on a bit in certain parts , BUT it was a good story and was done really well- the acting's pretty good too! i do recommend people to watch it only if they have a good amount of PATIENCE! And if you're a fan of 'Charmed' both Julian Mcmahon and Shannon Doherty are in the film!!! Oh and the story is quite confusing because it keeps switching back and forth between the times and some of the time i didn't know what the hell was going on but still its worth watching. i gave it a massive 8 out of 10 so it cant be as bad as the other reviewer said!!
