portraying a story on celluloid) didn't the people at the ending work out what was going on, and act accordingly?
Audrey Rose can be bought on DVD from many different websites. The cheapest I've seen it is on play.com for £3.99, and the most expensive I've so far seen is from Asda, at £12.79.
If you like a film that's a little disturbing and a little creepy - that's not quite in the horror film genre - more of a psychological thriller - and a very thought-provoking movie about the concept of reincarnation, this could be something you'd enjoy, so long as you can make allowances for datedness. I'd say it's worth it, even if only to see how Anthony Hopkins looked 32 years ago! I suppose at the end of the day, it's an "is she or isn't she" situation - is Ivy Templeton truly Elliot Hoover's dead daughter reincarnated? Or is Elliot Hoover ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Audrey Rose (DVD)
Advantages: Good balance of comedy and drama, good performances, quirky. Disadvantages: Horrid soundtrack, Samantha Mathis.
The only reason I had a watch of Jack and Sarah was the constant comments I kept reading about how Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl was little more than a remake of it. While there are certainly some similar plot points, on the whole though I would say that the two are entirely different. The best part though was finding a nice little film that I probably would have missed otherwise.
Walking the line between drama and comedy is not an easy one for any film. If you're trying to push serious themes, it becomes difficult to crack jokes at the same time. Likewise, a dramatic event in a comedic film can be a very jarring experience that works against the film. I'm glad to say though that Jack and Sarah balances between the two very steadily, only stumbling from time to time.
The film focuses on Jack (Richard E Grant), a London lawyer who ...
Advantages: Wonderful tale of cinematic fantasy Disadvantages: None

Writer-director Rebecca Miller's third film (following ANGELA and PERSONAL VELOCITY) is a powerful, poignant drama, about a father and daughter, living on their own on the outskirts of nowhere. Daniel Day-Lewis (Miller's husband) stars as Jack Slavin, a 1960s farmer and man of the earth - working the land and defending his territory, while eschewing such modernities as television. Jack is devoted to his daughter, Rose (Camilla Belle), a 16-year-old girl who too, cherishes the relationship with her father. Jack however, is terminally ill, and out of concern for Rose, he invites his girlfriend, Kathleen (Catherine Keener), together with her two sons, Rodney (Ryan McDonald) and Thaddius (Paul Dano), to move from the mainland and live with them, thinking they can be Rose's family after he dies. But Rose begins to act out in dangerous ways, threatening to severely damage the special relationship she shares with her father - one that has already begun to fragment. Day-Lewis gives a shattering, emotional performance as Jack, and is matched well by Belle, who seems wise beyond her years. Filmed on location on Prince Edward Island, THE BALLAD OF JACK AND ROSE is a harrowing, intimate film set in a beautiful, lush land.
A hauntingly beautiful elegy for the loss of life and innocence (Entertainment Weekly, )
Ellen Kuras' lush, nature-worshipping cinematography establishes a dreamy atmosphere at the film's start (Sight And Sound, )
DVD Description
Writer-director Rebecca Miller's third film (following ANGELA and PERSONAL VELOCITY) is a powerful, poignant drama about a father and daughter living on their own on the outskirts of nowhere, just as developers are starting to move in. Daniel Day-Lewis (Miller's husband) stars as Jack Slavin, a 1960s holdover who is a man of the earth, working the land and defending his territory while eschewing such modernities as television. Jack is devoted to his daughter, Rose (Camilla Belle), a 16-year-old girl who is equally as devoted to him. But Jack is sick, so he asks his girlfriend, Kathleen (Catherine Keener), along with her two sons, Rodney (Ryan McDonald) and Thaddius (Paul Dano), to come from the mainland and move in with them, thinking they can be Rose's family once he dies. But Rose begins to act out in dangerous ways, threatening to severely damage the already fragile relationships that are developing. Day-Lewis gives a shattering, emotional performance as Jack, and he is matched well with Belle, who seems wise beyond her years. Filmed on location on Prince Edward Island, THE BALLAD OF JACK AND ROSE is a harrowing, intimate film set in a beautiful, lush land.
