I saw this movie for the first time today (I should be working on a project for my class...) and it was okay. Not horrible but not exactly anything amazing either. One thing I thought was interesting was the fact that they made one woman the embodiment of life and the other woman death (I'm trying not to spoil anything for those who may not have seen this movie yet). Once Vincent made his final decision on whom he wanted to be with, it was basically sealing his fate. Which was then reiterated during the operation scenes.

This unpopular film showcases wonderfully nuanced performances that flesh out a simple story with an interesting twist. Multiple flashbacks (or shifting timescape) delineate the story, making for a complex movie, but the patient viewer is rewarded in the end.

Richard Gere, Sharon Stone, and Lolita Davidovich breathe life into the three corners of a love triangle. Stone is especially good as the calculating Sally, whose formidable personality holds together only at the fast pace of high-end social and professional success. Gere manifests the ambiguity of a man who must choose not only between women but between parts of his soul. Spirited Davidovich is very appealing as a vital woman deeply connected to fundamental contentedness and freedom.

Some philosophy is in order when considering this intimate, thoughtful film. It portrays various aspects of the human condition without embodying them. For instance, Richard Gere plays a man in the grip of profound indecision, but director Mark Rydell's hand is sure and his intent clear (`Whatever you're going to do, do it!'). The movie compresses the many small but meaningful moments that make up a lifetime into a taut montage of images flashing before the viewer's eyes, evoking the close link between life, time, and death. It shows how the simplest, smallest gesture can trigger an epiphany of profound meaning as someone struggles to find clarity in their life. Best of all, the movie illustrates how, even in tragedy, everyone can come away with something positive worth clinging to, whether it's a message on an answering machine, a hurtful letter undelivered, or a plunge into the depths of peace.

Richard Gere stars in this American-made remake of the 1970 film Les Choses de la vie of French Director Claude Sautet based on the novel by Paul Guimard. This time around Mark Rydell, who enjoyed success with On Golden Pond, Cinderella Liberty, The Rose and The Reivers among others is the director. Sharone Stone, Lolita Davidavich and Martin Landau round out the cast but this is clearly a Richard Gere film. Although I'm generally not a fan of Gere he is excellent in this. This does have the feel of a European film and although I've never seen the original I would like to. I'd likely find it better as a whole. This is a good drama and although not a big movie it has a good look to it. I would give this a 7.0 on a scale of 10 for it's likable story and performance by Richard Gere,

In this meandering drama set in the Vancouver area, director Mark Rydell (On Golden Pond) aims for deep and thought-provoking, but ends up with a rather sluggish melodrama which only occasionally is able to lift itself up from its structural chains and address the real-life issues on hand with any kind of sincerity. The writing has a day-time soap vibe, even if the actors are among the Hollywood A-list and give it their best shot. Richard Gere looks marvellous and is well cast. His Vincent Eastman could have been fine in another movie. But Sharon Stone is uncomfortable to watch in her atypical part, and Lolita Davidovich, who finds the right note for her role, is edited to look like a potential bad guy. The filmmakers obviously were clutching at straws to give the movie an edge which it severely lacks, except for in contrived plot devices. James Newton Howard provided the uninspiring score. It was Rydell's penultimate film.

Directed by Mark Rydell. Starring Richard Gere, Lolita Davidovich, Sharon Stone, Martin Landau, Jennifer Morrison, David Selby, Ron White, Scott Bellis. (R)

On the verge of a traffic collision, Gere reflects on his troubled relationships with his frigid wife (Stone) and spirited mistress (Davidovich). Bulk of running time is spent in dreary flashbacks (timeline often unclear) where these three characters mope and sulk at length; they're largely unappealing, and not in interesting ways, so it's a drag to spend so much time in their company (the actors do their best, but they're no magicians). The conclusion strives to turn the whole thing into a weepie, but it's unearned and ultimately unmoving. A remake of a French film called "Les Choses de la vie" (adapted from a book of the same name), which is warning enough that this movie won't work--European films of this persuasion tend to have plots that follow the whims of the characters, while their American counterparts tend to have characters that follow the whims of the plot.

A very touching Movie with excellent acting. Denotes the psychological conflict of the three characters

This movie from 1994 is another perfect example that remakes rarely work. The original Les Choses De La Vie by Claude Sautet with Romy Schneider and Michel Piccoli is a real masterpiece, but this is just a very boring version of it. This film lacks of inspiration with two leads who are horrible. Richard Gere is playing his usual romantic role and it just doesn't work as there's no chemistry between him and Lolita Davidovich. Even Sharon Stone seemed bored by Intersection...

As a consummate and long-time fan of Richard Gere's, this was a 'must have' for me and the acquisition was not a disappointment. As usual, Richard gave an excellent performance, for which I am never disappointed. Sharon Stone and Lolita Davidovich were great choices for the female characters and effectively displayed the contrast between the personalities of the women. This movie contained real aspects to a person's dilemma's in relationships...from a sterile, business 'association' with his first wife to a passionate and truly loving 'real-life' affair with the woman he met in a chance encounter. The drama of the accident was well done and suspenseful. In the end, the most touching aspect was that neither woman wished to hurt the other by disclosing what they each believed to be true - both were loved and wanted. I enjoyed it very much and it is a much-watched movie in my home with all actors performing excellently. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a love story which is true to real-life.

This is a good movie. Although I must admit sometimes it's a bit slow. I've seen it at least twice, and both times it mediated a special feeling that moved me.

The five main reasons why I liked this movie, are (not listed in any particular order):

1. Richard Gere - He doesn't give a great performance, but hey ! It's Richard Gere, and I really like him.

2. Sharon Stone - On the other hand gives a great performance. I've never seen her this good.

3. James Newton Howards fantastic score. The music over the final scenes and the ending credits is so beautiful and emotional, that it can make me cry everytime that I listen to it. The score enhances and puts an emphasis on the developments in the movie in an extraordinary way.

4. The script - Although it's not that tight, it's still well written, with likeable characters and a good message.

5. The feeling that this movie mediates, through the above mentioned reason, and lots more.

In conclusion: I recommend this film. It will probably not be the best movie you've ever seen, but well worth your time. And as I said, it has a good message.

Vincent Eastman (Richard Gere)'s car is approaching an accident. In flashbacks, he's having an affair with magazine writer Olivia Marshak (Lolita Davidovich). He is married to Sally (Sharon Stone). They run an architecture company together and have daughter Meaghan (Jennifer Morrison). Sally finds out about the affair and Vicent has to decide between the two women.

I saw this in the theaters on a double date. I did not make for good conversation afterward. More than that, it's not a good movie. Vincent is not a compelling character and his affair isn't that compelling either. The movie is prodding and lacks any tension. It's not until the ending where something interesting happens although it's a very manufactured construction. Ultimately, I don't care about these characters.

I can understand why the movie is rated 4.9 in 2013. The emotion in both relationship is not well reflected in the first 60 mins. As a men of 40 something, I am not convinced by the screen play.

But the final 30 mins really took my breath away, the letters, the red-hair girl, the phone booth, the accident, the dream...... and the final ending.

If the director can refine the first 60 mins, this film will be remembered by more audiences.

Richard Gere, Lolia Davidovich and Sharon Stone performed pretty well in the movie. The good performance is ruined by the unrealistic story line.

I wish another director will re-create the potential masterpiece.

While the acting in this movie was pretty decent, the plot and storyline were pedestrian, simply showing the results of a bad marriage and the resulting affair, a story we have seen 1000 times. But, to further drop this film into the mire, the story was told as a series of unconnected flashbacks within flashbacks within flashbacks. Now, sometimes, this technique is needed for a particular or special type of story, but here, it is simply annoying. The minimal plot becomes even more meaningless when told this way. Probably the worst film of Gere's career, but not his worst performance (Sommersby wins that honor.)

It won't win an Oscar but it was a nice movie. Richard looked particularly handsome. Good casting and I thought the acting was good. I would watch it again.

I remember watching this as a kid with my mom and even then I could not believe Sci-Fi plot of this movie. Its basically about this irrational female fantasy that a dude like Gere would leave his hot and LOVING Sharon Stone wife in her Basic Instinct prime for an ordinary YOU. Just imagine that, a Catherine Tramell without her knife stabbing psycho element that loves her husband even COOKS for him, is horny etc. is not good enough, no he wants BB. Ladies, we both now something like that would NEVER happened anywhere in the universe. If a movie at least try better to represent her as cold, evil, estranged...no, not even then. So, 2 points for hot Sharon Stone and that's it, rest is just ridiculous.

How dumb to have the trailer for a different movie also titled "Intersection" .

I'll be blunt: this is the worst movie I ever paid money to see in a theater. Don't rent it. The performances were wooden and the plot invisible.

I honestly found this a deplorably cheap piece of sh*t. How shallow can you get? Gere was disgusting in his pathetic ambivalence. He's supposed to be a principled Buddhist. He can rake in dough for this kind of sleazy grossness? Davidowitch was terrible. The plot was terrible. Stone was the least terrible element in the movie, which is saying a lot. The whole movie is predictable, boring, and without a spark of creativity. That it is about rich people with no concern for the rest of humanity is appalling, especially considering Gere's alleged social conscience. What else can I say? I would rate this movie close to zero. /
