Hereafter (2010)


Movie: Hereafter (2010)
Cast: Jay Mohr, Matt Damon, Cécile De France, Bryce Dallas Howard
Director: Clint Eastwood
Genre: supernatural, afterlife
I saw it on: November 4, 2010
Synopsis: George (Matt Damon) is able to communicate with the dead.  Marie (Cécile De France) is having strange visions following a near-death experience. Marcus is suffering from the death of his twin brother and is desperately seeking answers.  The movie follows these three  and eventually pulls them together.

My two cents: An interesting movie.  About 1/3 of the way in, I started thinking “Oh well, I guess Clint has to make a bad movie once in a while.  About 2/3 through, I started wavering.  By the end of the movie I was thinking that Clint knocked one out of the ball park again.  This might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but he does a masterful job of weaving all the threads of this movie so that they finally come together at the end.  The movie will definitely leave you with something to think about.
