Remarkable story.....

I loved this film... and lost track of it for years. Finally googled the basic plot and there it is! Unusual story about the vast dimensions of human experience. We have so much to learn and explore about our realms of 'consciousness'... and while illuminating this is difficult for any medium this film does great justice to those infinite possibilities.

scrutiny

A 1960's woman who struggles with MLS tries to achieve independence of mind and spirit.

I recently saw the film myself on The Movie Channel. I thought it was moving, intelligent, and strangely artful in the depiction of person struggling with MS. I did find some editing moments, particularly the end when the police arrive to arrest Dylan Walsh's character crosscutting with Joanna Going character's rebirth, a little raw but for a first feature, the dirth of moods, characters, and setting was commendable. Can't wait for Mr. Goldberg's next feature.

Spiritual and Moving

This was an incredibly moving film. I had heard about it when it was at Sundance and waited to see it when it came out in theatres, but it never came to my area. Then, there it was at Blockbusters. I rented it and was thrilled. It was a moving and spiritual film with incredible performances (especially Joanna Going). It is a perfect evocation of the era (60s). The story, of a woman who has MS and starts to believe that she can leave her body when she sleeps, is a beautiful metaphor. Her dreams start to become almost like a heroin addiction -- a way for her to be able to deal with her life that she can't seem to come to grips with when she's awake. See it. I highly recommend it.

a film about the birth of courage

I watched this film this morning. What I saw was a woman finding the courage to live after the stoic "stay tough" attitude of her husband had pushed her so deep into herself she couldn't fight any more.

The husband's lack of understanding was so real to me, I too am married to someone physically disabled and it has been a struggle for me to get past that sometimes.

I wish there were more films about this subject, I don't feel quite so confused now...and I maybe I have a little bit more understanding of how he may feel sometimes. To me, that's what a movie like this is supposed to do, give us insight into our own emotions and enhance our understanding a little.

A metaphysical concept made accessible to the masses

This is a beautiful film about a woman escaping into a cycle of involuntary astral projection experiences and making the difficult decision of coming back to her body and her life. For anyone who has suffered through the limitations of physical disability or disease, this film is a gift. And it's recommended viewing for anyone who wishes to gain an understanding of illness and death. Should be seen by every medical practitioner in the country.
