Déjà Vu

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.

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 didn't hate this film quite as much as the reviewer before me who called it the worst film ever, but I do think it was overpraised by most critics. The idea of lovers fated to meet is a familiar one, but a timeless theme that is always worth retelling --if you can do it in an original and compelling way. The problem with Deja Vu is that rather than allow a story to unfold naturally, the characters constantly talk and analyze the subject. They talk so much about love and coincidence that I could not really get into it.There are some good performances -Vanessa Redgrave is always a pleasure to watch-- but the main character (I forget her name, but she is the director's wife --as the last reviewer pointed out, a reason to be wary) was too whiny and silly for me. I think some reviewers are so grateful when a film is about something serious that they are too willing to overlook flaws. As any beginning book on writing says --"show, don't tell." Deja Vu tells way too much.

I must say I enjoyed this movie and I was taken by it from the first moments. It is full of wonderful characters and interesting acting. It was not replete with name actors and formula plots.

The quiet moments when the characters waxed philosophical were the best parts of the movie. It was a script that I could put my spiritual teeth in.

At first it was distracting to see Redgrave sitting among her "lessers" but as her role continued...I realized why she took the role. It spoke volumes about the central premise of fate and free will and added much to the film's story line. Plus, she delivered a marvelous performance.

(It always fascinates me when someone states that THIS is the worst movie they have ever seen. To say that about THIS movie reveals that the reviewer has not seen many movies. I have seen some alarmingly bad movies where I am cringing throughout. That is bad folks. This is not Shakespeare nor Gone With The Wind...instead...it is charming.)

Deja-vu was wonderful...a romantic movie for woman and men :)

Are you going where you think you're going? Are you really who you think you are? This quiet little film explores the lives of a man and a woman who are gently, but insistently, forced together by fate, or karma, or destiny(or whatever). Their romance was set into motion before they were even born, and although they try to avoid each other, plans are altered, "coincidences" happen, and mysteries unravel. Very romantic and wistful!
