I signed on Amazon JUST to put into words the suffering I and my girlfriend experienced in the grueling journey of this pathetic movie. A person might think with names like James Wood, Nick Nolte and Daryl Hannah, one might enjoy some quality entertainment. There was and is no talent to salvage this effort in my opinion.
This script is sooo slow; the music box sound track lulls you off to sleep. I never fall asleep in a movie, but this one forces you to slumber. The essence of the content is surrealistic at best. The time line on the story bounces forward and backwards frequently which is acceptable, but only adds to the discombobulated nature of an already wanting storyline. Overall, it has no depth of character, no heartfelt content to grasp onto. I was left empty both in mind and in money for buying the DVD.
I can't imagine anyone giving it 5 stars, whereas I see a few. Shows how taste in entertainment varies widely. If a person is into New Age rhetoric, who seeks to inject meaning into happenstance occurances without substance, I suppose this was an esoteric soul journey of epic proportions.

I rented this movie just yesterday as the blurb on the back of the DVD sounded promising, and I have always loved Nick Nolte. Once I watched it, I wish I had my money and my 2 hours back. This movie is trying way to hard to to be an "art movie", but just comes across as pretentious nonsense. The only thing it has going for it is that the visuals can be starkly beautiful at times, even if the aesthetic that the movie is striving for is not very original. Of course it is entirely possible that I just don't "get" the movie, but as a whole, I found the movie to be weak and boring. Save your time and your cash.

Northfork, The movie is about a town that is being evacuated because of the nearby hyrdro-electric plant. There is also a spiritual side of the story. I thought the story was slow and boring but I held on there was some deeper meaning to the plot

Watch this film after you've had the first knick in your side door! In other words, when you've reached the age of wisdom. Or in the words of James Woods, "Son, after the first (dent?), the rest come easy". If you have recently lost someone, as I have, I suggest, this film will be viewed with the essential element of thoughtfulness about the meaning of home and soul, and will thusly, alternately give you not only some serenity-- but also, comic relief.
Watch this film alone to truly absorb it. I found it, unlike, previous reviews to the contrary, to be an amazingly expansive capsule of reality. I needed to assist someone close to me in dying and Nick Nolte's performance & love for "Sir,Irwin" (boy-angel) so mirrored my anguishing experience in letting go.
I recommend this movie. I intend to purchase it and send it to my health care proxy (who is also grieving) and put a copy in my locked safety deposit box to be discovered at some later date..."when I pack my good memories".

I love cinema -- in all it's forms -- but this movie had me crawling in my seat.
Just because a film has muted colors, stark high contrast photography, unfolds at a glacial pace, and has minimalist acting does NOT make it a masterpiece.
This film is all style, but NO heart -- it is emotionally vacuous -- empty!
You have "Men in Black", echoes of "Blade Runner" episodic quirkyness like "Pulp Fiction", but none of the charm and soul of say "Wings of Desire" or even "City of Angels".
A sterile, vapid, desolate, black-hole of a movie.
