Featured reviews
Wonderful and very romantic movie that Amazon Prime Video recommended to me! The main idea of the movie is that if two people are destined to be together, there are multiple signs in their life that show they should be together. Even if they try not to be together and fight their attraction to each other (for example if they are in relationships with other people) fate will bring them together!
Dana is engaged and meets Sean who is married. Their attraction is instant, they fight it and fate keeps bringing them together. The movie is set in Jerusalem, Dover, UK, London, UK, Paris and L. A.
I liked the plot and the actors a lot. Vanessa Redgrave says something interesting to Dana who is wondering what to do with her feelings for Sean: "If you really want something and fate presents it to you, this means it's yours and you should take it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be presented to you. This is living"
I also liked the movie, because it's like virtual traveling and seeing distant places.
The message is that if you sense an instant strong romantic connection with someone and they feel it, too, you should look deeper to discover that there are many things connecting you!
Delighful ending, in my opinion and nice music.

I can't recall a movie that has ever so totally charmed and captivated me. Like other Jaglom films, this one makes great use of Victoria Foyt, and uses the refreshing method of allowing actors to ad-lib many of their lines. I found this to give the film a fresh, unconstrained feeling well suited to this type of story. I came out of the theater enveloped in a dreamy, warm romantic glow that stayed with me to the next day. I've been checking for this movie to be available for purchase on video ever since! For anyone who believes in fate and its hand in our lives and loves, this is a movie you'll cherish.
I loved Deja Vu. It's about love and magic, and being honest with yourself. Vanessa Redgrave is beautiful, and the relationships in the film are fascinating. The film made me think about my life, and the choices I've made, or have not made. I made changes in my life after seeing the film that were very good for me. This film has it all---mystery, love, humor, beauty. I saw it several times, and never got bored. Go see it, or rent it!
I too listened to the film critics and went to see this film. What a disappointment. The only positive thing I can say is that I liked Ms. Massey and Mr. Harrison in the supporting roles. I would much rather have seen a story about these two than the main characters.
This was one of the most romantic movies I've ever seen. The story is fascinating, beginning with the conversation at the cafe in Jerusalem with Dana and the mystery woman, through Dana's search in Paris, to the White Cliffs of Dover. To me, this movie is hope for women that there is one person out there who is truly meant for them and sometimes you are lucky enough to find that one person, as Dana was. The music was so fitting and made me weepy at times. I was really blown away at the ending, because I hadn't expected it, but it was so fitting. The final shot of the film says it all for me. Henry Jaglom and Victoria Foyt are truly the new wave of film makers and her beauty is extraordinary. As soon as the movie was over I wanted to watch it again.
