Forever Mine description Paul Schrader's Forever Mine tells a not-very-compelling, still-less-credible story of love, betrayal, and retribution. A cabana boy (Joseph Fiennes) at a Florida beach resort falls hard for a gorgeous guest (Gretchen Mol) neglected by her wheeler-dealer husband (Ray Liotta). After a steamy nude scene and a sweet, barefoot date, Fiennes follows her home to New York and declares undying love. Mol, a good Catholic girl who reads Madame Bovary, confesses the affair to Liotta. Being shadier than she realizes, he arranges to have nasty things befall his rival. Cut to 14 years later (though in fact the movie has been shuffling time periods since the beginning): Fiennes, long presumed dead, resurfaces to lend his talents (he's become a master criminal) to the now thoroughly corrupt Liotta and see what his beloved is up to. Fiennes has a new name, and a scar on one side of his face, so neither recognizes him. You don't have a problem with that, do you? Nonrecognition is always a tricky proposition in movies, but Forever Mine's problems don't end there. Fiennes, sans Shakespeare in Love beard and Bardlike charisma, doesn't begin to suggest a guy who'd inspire obsession. His costar's attempt at creating a soul sister to Emma Bovary is as underacted as it is underwritten, and Liotta's husband is just a lout, despite a desperate stab at giving him a virtually literary sensitivity regarding his romantic one-upping. You want a spellbinding Schrader movie about outré passion and literary mystery, look up The Comfort of Strangers. --Richard T. Jameson |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Classic Love Story |
| Like Alan fell in love with Ella the first time he saw her face I fell in love with this movie. OK so it may a little hokie the dialogue a little lame and the story a little far fetched, I still think it was a beautiful premise. A girl can dream can't she. I first saw it in June 2007,and I think at this point in time it's my favorite movie. And Conner Reeves' rendition of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" knocked my socks off, he he definately gives Roberta Flack a run for her money! Beautiful soulful voice I looked him up (I was not familiar with him prior to) I have searched high and low for the soundtrack to no avail. The song is played during the closing credit. If you're familiar with the song lyrics it easy to see how it works with the script in the end; "the first time ever I saw your face', "the first time ever I kissed your mouth", and "the first time ever I lay with you". Like I said farfetched maybe but a beautiful concept. | |
