VHS Movie Reviews of Resurrection
Movie Review: Excellent Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
(*SPOILER WARNING*) Resurrection is loosely based on the experiences of Rosalyn Bruyere, a woman with expansive experience in energy based healing (She was also a technical advisor for the movie). Ellen Burstyn is absolutely realistic in her role as Edna, a woman who awakens from an accident in which she lost her fiance to find she has been endowed with a confusing blessing in the form of the ability to heal. As an agnostic, she finds this gift difficult to resolve, and her journey through her own healing and with others' expectations is interesting to watch. I would encourage anyone who is in the field of energy based healing to try to get their hands on a copy of this VHS, or at the very least catch it on cable, as it is shown periodically. It holds up well over time and I am still hoping the 'powers that be' will see fit to release it in DVD, as there is a strong call for it and I know I'll be right there at the top of the list for pre-ordering it. There's just nothing else like it in film (the newer version doesn't have the same impact, and has a different ending).Movie Review: Watch for Resurrection on Cable
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently was able to record Resurrection from cable. I believe it was on Starz. This may be the only way to get this remarkable film. All the other reviews nail it...this has a five star rating from all reviews, and nothing below a five in overall scoring. Be aware some of the reviews here contain spoilers.
If you've never seen this, find it and watch it. You won't regret it.
Let's see- ISHTAR DVD, yep...Dude, Where's My Car? DVD, yep... Hudson Hawk, yep...Gigli dvd, you bet! Resurrection dvd? nope...sorry.
Sometimes there is no justice.
Movie Review: Why is this EXCELLENT film not on dvd???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best films ever made on the subject of what happens when we die. It's supremely well acted, written, directed and musically composed. It's moving in ways no other film ever has or probably can touch. A screen gem of the highest order. It's utterly ridiculous that this film is not available, new, on dvd OR vhs. What Universal is waiting for is beyond me. The money they're losing out on by not releasing it is big.Ellen Burstyn's best film of her career next to "Requiem For A Dream". It's a masterpiece! I saw this film as a little boy on cable in the '80's and it's stuck with me ever since. I was lucky enough to see it again last year on Encore cable channel and I recorded it, but dropped the vhs tape copy of it and it broke, as did my heart. WE NEED THIS FILM ON DVD ALREADY, UNIVERSAL. Get on it and release it this year!!! Enough waiting already. Movie Review: Please, Please Release on DVD!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Another gem that somehow fell through the cracks, despite its Academy Award-nominated performaces by Ellen Burstyn and Eva Le Gallienne. With so much junk on DVD, why does Resurrection remain mysteriously absent? Makes absolutely no sense to me. Hmmph.Movie Review: I am so pleased that people are still talking about this film
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been 20 plus years since I've last seen this movie and I still can't get it out of my head. Every now and then I look on Netflix just to see if its there. No such luck. For the heck of it I looked on Amazon and was pleasantly surprised to see a mini fan club singing the praise of this incredible film and pleading for a DVD release. Add my voice to the choir. I would love to see this movie again. I am so please to see that other people were affected as much as I was by this moving and emotional film. DVD Please!
Summary of Resurrection
Released at a time when psychic auras, near-death experiences, and Kirlian photography were all the rage among early New Age proponents, Resurrection achieves a spiritual depth rarely found in Hollywood movies. In one of her finest performances, Ellen Burstyn stars as Edna McCauley, a transplanted farm girl who develops healing powers following an accident that left her widowed and paralyzed. Returning to her Kansas homeland, she attracts awe and controversy, performing healings while deflecting any pretense of religion. That's a risky position in the Bible belt, and even Edna's new beau Cal (Sam Shepard) responds with zealous incredulity, fearing what he can't understand while others embrace Edna with unquestioning faith. Through it all, Edna remains calmly resolute as the conduit of an extraordinary gift.Sensitively written by Lewis John Carlino (The Great Santini), Resurrection tenuously mixes spiritual significance with John Ford's homespun tradition, but for the most part it works: Burstyn superbly conveys Edna's heartfelt determination, and both she and stage veteran Eva LeGallienne (in a rare and final film performance, as Edna's grandma) deservedly earned Oscar nominations. The movie dares to suggest that miracles reside within everyone, and that pure grace will manifest itself in unexpected ways. To that end, Richard Farnsworth is warm and wise in a brief but perfect role; Burstyn's final scene with Roberts Blossom (as her disapproving father) is a heartbreaker; and the film ends with an act of compassion that brings the story full circle as an affirmation of life's greatest mysteries. --Jeff Shannon
