Arsinée Khanjian, Bob Hoskins, Claire Benedict

A solitary middle-aged bachelor and a naive Irish teenager transform one another's lives to arrive at a place of recognition, redemption and wisdom in Felicia's Journey, writer/director Atom Egoyan's ...( read more  read more... )adaptation of William Trevor's celebrated 1994 novel. Seventeen and pregnant, Felicia travels to England in search of her lover and is found instead by Joseph Ambrose Hilditch, a helpful catering manager whose kindness masks a serial killer. Hilditch has murdered several young women, but he has no conscious awareness of the crimes; like Felicia, he doesn't see his true self. Anchored by the stunning performances of Hoskins and Cassidy, Felicia's Journey is a story of innocence lost and regained: Felicia awakens to the world's dangers and duplicities; and Hilditch, who grew up lonely and unloved, comes to realize what was taken from him, and what he himself has taken.

    PAN & SCAN. La delineación del protagonista y la atmósfera son fascinantes, pero la historia, no tanto. / The delineation of the protagonist and the atmosphere are fascinating, but the story, not so much.

    very interesting display

    The film may not be without a few flaws and fallacies, but is as lovingly and precisely prepared as the dishes consumed by Mr. Hoskins' wonderfully played character. Perhaps more so than that however, I love the film for its ability to articulate a certain facet of life's innerw...( read more)orkings that I have also found to be true again and again. Life's ability to take two deeply lost individuals and bring them together with such precision as to have the innate bewilderment acted upon by each of them, inadvertently cause the other to grasp truth, avoid harm or both. Though this point doesn't go without being slightly muffled, it still struck me as one rather clearly illustrated here. That alone, makes the film more than worthwhile in my eyes.

    Overrated. Not terrible, but I didn't enjoy it at all. Pretty boring and straightforward, despite the plot. Sleepwaling performances.
  • August 16, 2007
    Pretty creepy, slow-moving drama with Hoskins on good form.

    A winner by my favorite writer-director, Atom Egoyan.
    His work just sucks you into the intrigue. Good mystery.
