Review of Be with Me

Be with Me (2005)
8/10
3 stories on love at different stages of life.
24 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I was never a fan of "arty" movies. I thought this was going to be yet another "sappy" movie with a "inspirational" storyline. Anyway, my sis got the DVD and I was bored so I decided to watch. It was completely different from all the other movies I've ever watched. There was very little dialogue, but the show had me captivated and my eyes were glued to the screen all the time. Although it is true that the main protagonist, Theresa, could have been featured more in the other character's lives, it was such a touching story that I burst out crying at the end.

I would disagree with comments that the other two stories, besides the one regarding the old man, is redundant. The story regarding the old man is obviously very moving, but I was also amazed with the "realness" of the other two plots. I could relate to the one regarding teenage love absolutely.

Now if not for the weird ending of one character being crushed by another, I would have given it 10 stars.

Watch, and even if you don't like sappy stuff, I'm sure you'll view your problems differently after watching.
