    One Soul Reaching Another Soul

    This was a very soul searching film with great acting by Jane Seymour who played (Jenny Cole/Mary Sutton,"Touching Wild Horses",'02. Jenny Cole seems to have troubling dreams about a family in a small town in Ireland where a woman has to put up with a drunkard of a husband and a child abuser. He is told that his wife with lose her life if she has any more children and her husband is too busy drinking to really care. There is great photography in Ireland and former veteran actor Hume Cronyn,(Sonny Sutton),"The Pelican Brief",'92, plays the older son to Mary Sutton and gives a great supporting role. You will need some tissues to view this film and some belief in the Spiritual World!

    This is the kind of movie Jane Seymour needs!

    They say you can't please everyone but with this movie Jane Seymour may have succeeded. What was there to not love about this movie? Absolutely NOTHING. It was sheer perfection from the beauty of the Irish countryside, the haunting gaelic music, the excellent script and direction to stellar acting by all especially Jane herself. This is the kind of movie Jane Seymour shines in! I was moved to tears throughout and riveted to my screen the entire 2 hours. Chemistry among all the cast was excellent and Jane was definitely at her finest here. Someone please tell this woman she doesnt need action movies to attract the advertisers, all she needs is an excellent movie like Yesterday's children! Kudos to all involved in this one, Writer, Director, Cast and Jane Seymour herself. I've now watched this one 5 times and it just gets better!

    Two words - Highly recommendable !

    Seen on French TV under the title "Les Ombres du Passé", and now available on DVD in France for under 6$, this is a highly worthwhile purchase ! Picture quality is excellent, and the story itself send shivers down your spine at times and at other moments fills you with orgasmic joy. Acting is first rate and the Irish countryside is beautifully filmed. The final "reunion" of the film filled me with an undescribable sense of joy. The story, though in the domaine of the paranormal is highly plausible, and we follow with pleasure and anticipation Jane Seymour's research of her Irish Family. I would highly recommend the film to anyone the least bit sentimental and who at the same time is fascinated by things para-normal! Excellent !

    This is an amazing story

    When I first watched this. It got to me. And now 4 years later, it still has the same effect on me. This movie has opened my eyes to the possibility of soul reincarnation. I do hope that someday this can come out on VHS/DVD. It is a wonderful movie and I think everyone should have a chance to see it.Jane Seymour is excellent in her double role as Jenny/Mary. I believe that the film does the story extreme justice. I hope that someday I can show my children this epic story. I being of Irish descent am particularly drawn to this film for obvious reasons. But no matter who you are this film will raise some questions about what happens after we die.I rate it a five star movie. Hopefully CBS will have the heart to release it.

    You're bound to be moved

    This is a true story. Living in the middle US with her loving husband (Clancy Brown) and her teenage son (Kyle Howard), Jenny Cole (Jane Seymour) was pregnant with her second child. At the same time, she started having vivid, recurring dreams about a poor, big family living in Ireland about half a century ago. Jenny's memories became more and more intense. She talked about it to her mother, who showed Jenny her drawings about that small town, Malahide when she was a little girl. Jenny also went see a psychologist in hope to find out more about the Irish woman's life which constantly appeared in her dreams. In her memories, the woman, Mary Sutton had four children, one still born baby and soon later another baby girl. As well as her abusive husband. Jenny was determined to track down all the children, so she went to Ireland and her search began. She set out to make the Suttons reunite, after all these decades...

    Mary Sutton's life was short misery. She died at the age of 37 due to ill health. Throughout her life she had never been treasured by her husband. Now Jenny believed that she was Mary in her past incarnation and that her mission was to bring Mary's children together, so Mary's last wish could be fulfilled...

    The acting, the score are heartbreaking. The tale is simply touching. Now, the question is: Do you believe in reincarnation?
