Great Concept & Talented Director, Dissapoints
After seeing Perelman's other well known film, The House of Sand and Fog, I was excited to see what he would do with this film. The concept of doing a school shooting for a movie is not a new concept and has been tackled very expressively ...

Interesting Film
by bunnyrabbit4 (New Orleans, LA USA)
This film was well worth watching. I won't say the ending is a total surprise as I figured out the plot halfway through. It was still a good flick, but not one I feel I need to own. The visuals are nice, but again, not really stunning to the point where you need to see them again and again. After you have seen it once there is nothing about it that makes you go back and watch it again unless you are seriously hung up on one of the actresses. I would definitely recommend renting the film.
5/5
critics can be wrong...
by leah_s
After reading some reviews online I was worried that this movie was going to be pretty bad, but I was blown away by how good it was. A controversial storyline which certainly holds your attention, not to mention the filming is beautiful. I've seen this movie twice and can't wait to see it again. A great addition to anyones Blu-Ray collection; although the special features aren't too exciting. I'd recommend watching this movie atleast twice to get a full understanding of what happened.

Lush Visuals Accent a Story of Emotional Purity
by Alric Knebel (Biloxi, MS)
This film stirs the soul as deeply as a fine symphony. The central character is an artist and teacher, Diana McFee, played at two junctures in her life by Uma Thurman and Evan Rachel Wood. The adult Diana is haunted by the mistakes she made in her dissolute youth. The film deftly handles the flashbacks that allude to this point, with the linchpin a Columbine-like shooting that ends in a confrontation between the rampaging student and Diana and her solidly grounded best friend Maureen. A fine performance can almost be taken for granted from Thurman, and she delivers here without breaking a sweat. But Wood was a revelation. Her young Diana as a teen languishing in a sense of moral futility was deeply affecting. Of equal note is Eva Amurri as Maureen, the best friend with whom Diana shares that pivotal moment. This film is too humble an achievement in the cacophony of Hollywood hoopla to draw much attention to these performances, but they are definitely all noteworthy. In fact, the entire supporting cast should be commended, as every scene seems carved out of cool jade.
The cinematography is an essential part of this movie. Though Diana as a teen and as an adult is chronically confused, her melancholy blends into an almost paradisaical richness in the air. It begins with insects dreamily alighting in a lush garden, color and life humming on her periphery, an idyllic refuge that is perhaps appreciated by Diana only in retrospect. The look of the film is unquestionably part of its point, and therefore the Blu-ray should be the first choice in viewing this one. This is an exquisite film of emotional purity. I was left pondering it for days.

Excellent Movie Which I Rented First
by James M. Kilbane (Brook Park, Ohio USA)
I loved this movie. Not a blind buy but rent it first. Since viewing it last night I have ordered on Blu-ray. Great characters and story. The title makes such sense after watching this film.
You really can't describe the film that much. But the previous reviewer describes it very well. I don't think he gave anything away.
If unsure rent it. You will probably end up buying it as I have done.
5/5
BEWARE of ALL these reviews - SPOILERS
by H. Brown (Willow Grove, PA United States)
I haven't seen this film ... but I was going to and was looking forward to it. Here's why I'm posting this non-review. I suspect that a review I've read in this section contains a substantial spoiler. The author may not have intended it as such ... but I'm guessing that it is a spoiler. Can't say more than that without being a spoiler myself ... except to say that when a reviewer compares any film to a previously released film that had a very unique story format ... well, that can be a real spoiler. And, if I'm wrong, I apologize.
The Life Before Her Eyes [Blu-ray] Summary
Based on the novel by Laura Kasischke, this powerful drama, starring Uma Thurman, unfolds in out-of-sequence flashbacks. Recklessly hedonistic teenager Diana (Evan Rachel Wood) and her best friend, a Christian virgin (Eva Amuri), come face to face with a machine-gun-wieldingmate one morning at school in a situation reminiscent of Columbine.

Based on the novel by Laura Kasischke this powerful drama starring Uma Thurman unfolds in out-of-sequence flashbacks. Recklessly hedonistic teenager Diana (Evan Rachel Wood) and her best friend a Christian virgin (Eva Amuri) come face to face with a machine-gun-wielding classmate one morning at school in a situation reminiscent of Columbine. Thurman plays the grown-up version of Diana who has a perfect life in the same small town 15 years after the tragedy. On the anniversary of the shooting unpleasant flashbacks haunt her as she takes her daughter to school lectures on Gauguin to a bored art history class and possibly spots her older professor husband out with a younger woman. As the events cohere and time collapses one realizes nothing is certain and life renews and ends on a moment-by-moment basis. Under the helm of Vadim Perelman (HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG) a spiritual presence is imbued in lovingly photographed close-ups of flowers dirty dishes cats ants spiders bees on flowers leaves and Wood diving in and out of a swimming pool in slow motion. The dialogue is peppered with believably offhand philosophical inquiry and if the film does nothing else it makes one reevaluate one's perspective on the sanctity of every life decision--and to feel a degree of awe and reverence for the acting skills and beauty of both Thurman and Wood who meld believably into the same complex character.System Requirements:Running Time: 90 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: DRAMA/COMING OF AGE Rating: R UPC: 876964001397 Manufacturer No: 10139
