Review of Déjà Vu

Déjà Vu (1997)
9/10
Love it or hate it--I love it!
15 July 2000
This film seems to be either loved or hated, as even the user ratings show. I'm one of the ones who loves it. It seems either one "gets it" or one misses the point. You have to be able to overlook some of the low budget feel of some of the technical aspects, not be in a critical frame of mind, and just sit back and let it hit you. I'm a very big Stephen Dillane fan, think he's so real in each role he plays, and this film gives many moments of enjoying his honest-feeling responses to the events of the story. I recommend viewing it alone, at least at first, because then you can really be free to enjoy it without the additional dynamic of wondering if others like it. I got my husband to watch it with me, and it was hard for him to let it hit him. It is more of a woman's film, anyway, as the male lead is much more attractive than the female lead, not like another romance, Firelight, with Stephen Dillane and Sophie Marceau, a sexy female lead.
