Shadowlands

...a wonderfully affirmative tale of love as the richest and most liberatingly meaningful experience in a thinking man's life, and an extremely compelling testimonial to living in the now.

Shadowlands has found two perfect actors to play this unlikely couple, Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger.

The tapestry of this film successfully weaves together emotion, intellect, and narrative into a pleasing, but never cloying, whole.

The term tear-jerker is often used in a derogatory sense, but SHADOWLANDS earns the label honestly and may well help rehabilitate the genre by demonstrating its possibilities.
