Kindred Spirits

Entertaining in a lifetime TV movie kind of way - kind of silly, questionable acting. There are moments that are tinged with that distinctive Lucky McKee vibe but this is definitely not his best. Enjoyable enough if there's nothing else on, just don't take it too seriously.

Apart from the ending. And don't mean I would have liked it to go a different direction, it just seems to take the easy way out. It seemed to built up something really good (or bad) and then ... ah well you can't have it all, now can you. The acting is ok for a thriller of this kind and while you know where this is heading, Caitlin is quite a tour de force.

No matter what you think of her character (and there should be only one way you should feel about her), she carries the movie. Charismatic and at least at the beginning enigmatic too. So if you like thrillers in general, this will be right up your alley - try not to be to dissapointed in the end ...

This story is what is referred to, as a "guilty pleasure", or a guilty waste of time. It's a silly, emotionally-manipulative waste of time, which starts out fairly good and degenerates into more and more "wacko", as it goes along. The crazy plot keeps your inner "bad news junkie" salivating, even though you know, you're being taken for a ride,"over the top". Near the end, I actually thought, that it was going to go off formula, which surprised me, but it was just a tease. It actually went back to the expected script, amazingly, in a most awkward and unexplained manner.

This movie is very bland and original, very bad acting, disappointed ending, did not enjoy this

Ultimately, it's _just_ okay. But I'm writing this review solely to give major kudos to Thora Birch for her most natural on-screen performance to date. Watch this one, if for nothing else, than to see what time and maturity can do for your craft.
