Not quite as depressing as Forest Gump this one but it has its moments.
A good script, interesting characters and Anthony Hopkins.
Not a film i would pick out to watch & wonder whether CS Lewis make a poor deal but a superior film none the less. -

This film is a real tearjerker, it is one of the sadest films I have ever seen and probably even more so because it is based on the life of C.S. Lewis. It's a brilliant film, but a tearjerker.

The unlikely love story of C.S.Lewis and the American woman who he eventually marries but dies before him. Sad but sweet.

"Shadowlands" is a very real and heartfelt drama that doesn' fall into typical excessive sugar or melodrama to keep the audience engaged. Its conlfict comes from a real clash of personalities and the love that is born despite (or thanks to) those differences, and the social issues that prevent this love from succeeding. I've read that it's not very historically accurate, but that's not really important. It has a striking cinematography, and the acting is as usual, excellent in the case of Hopkins and very good by Winger, and the supporting cast isn't half bad either. The kid pulls off a role that coudl've easily been just about crying. It does get a bit slow in the middle, but the final twenty or so minutes are masterful, deeply moving. This is a touching drama about how we connect and how we withstand the difficulties life presents to us.

MCT:September 9, 2007De omstandigheden, waaronder ik deze film zag, waren niet optimaal. Maar: een geweldige film over hoe een zelfverzekerde levenshoudig door een gebeurtenis in het leven van C.S. Lewis plotseling kan veranderen. Zeer de moeite waard (1 januari 1994).

A very well done movie about C.S. Lewis, and the woman he met and fell in love with, despite the fact that she was dying of cancer.

One of my all time favorites. I've only seen it once, but C.S. Lewis could only be played by someone like Hopkins.

Another beautiful true story of a famous personage -- the neat thing that the son actually helped on this movie!

Great truths, great backstory of C.S. Lewis (author of Mere Christianity and the Chronicles of Narnia). Not about his books but about his personal life. Poignant.

A pretty interesting movie about the writer C.S. Lewis and his life. Some pretty good thoughts to reflect on and some good touching moments, but a little to long drawn and a bit boring for my taste. Anthony Hopkins - brilliant as allways!!

I have probably seen this movie more than any other (I don't usually watch movies more than once or twice). Beautiful love story with excellent acting.

MCT:May 9, 2007I get this thing a lot with movies. The thing is, I can't describe it. It's like if I get this certain feeling and I can't describe it, I either describe it by saying I don't remember it or I didn't get it, and sometimes it's not either of them. I think it just left me with a blah I'm-not-sure-about-this feeling. I guess. It's very hard to describe. And I'm sure that was very hard to understand. I'm not sure if I DID get the movie, though.

What a quietly beautiful journey of the soul this is. A movie about love and faith. "The pain now is part of the happiness then; that's the deal."

I can't get through this movie dry-eyed. I dearly love CS Lewis and Anthony Hopkins playing him was a dream. Occasional made-for-TV-movie moments, but not overwhelming. Beautiful, sad, and just plain wonderful.

A movie about the life of C.S. Lewis that is full of inspirational quotes. Anthony Hopkins does an amazing job.

Makes me cry... I haven't seen it in a while though. I've grown a bit more questioning about these sappy love stories.

I need to revisit my top 20, or even my top 10, this visual masterpiece is definitely somewhyere in that mix. Filmed in the Black Mountains on the Welsh Borders, just a beautiful true story. A Real gut wrencher from Anthony Hopkins.
