Sommersby

A genuinely romantic piece of work, Sommersby features two class performances from Gere and Foster, both managing to somehow convey the depth of their mutual longing without ever having to hang from the chandeliers to prove it.

...Richard Gere and Jodie Foster do what they can with the characters...

...one of those rare remakes that does not tarnish the image of its inspiration.

Sommersby is made with enough intelligence to overcome its credulity-straining premise, and handles its outdoor scenes with epic charm.
