Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Chrid Mann Isn't it great how people experience things in totally different ways? I just read thru most of the other reviews for this film... Some love it and think the acting is great - others hate it and think the acting is crap! Some love the soundtrack, others find it dead annoying! Some fall in between...Many reviewers praise John Laroquette, saying he gives a great supporting performance. Why? He hardly does anything except come and go on a motorbike or stand in the UNFOCUSED background and wipe glasses in the bar! Patrick Bauchau, who has a lot more screen time, and does a load of action and says a load of stuff, hardly gets a mention! What's that about?In this movie Genevieve Bujold is mousy and unattractive and has clothes and haircut like a boy. Then she puts on a dress, some make-up and slicks her hair back in an oily duck-tail. So now she's sexy, right? Wrong.... just even MORE unattractive!Lesley Anne Warren, on the other hand, can act, is gorgeous, has a great figure, and can really wear clothes and walk in high heels - watching HER makes up for all the rest of the nonsense in this film! Rudolph's earlier, 'Remember my Name', is actually a MUCH better film. Antony Perkins has far more presence than Keith Carradine, and Geraldine Chaplin is just brilliant in that movie. In fact, it would've really perked this film up if Perkins had played Mickey and Chaplin had played Nancy. After all, Mickey's supposed to be a bit crazy and no one can play a bit crazy like Antony Perkins! And Nancy is supposed to be smart and intense and Geraldine Chaplin does smart and intense superbly! Plus she's a lot more attractive!Oh, well, you can't win 'em all...

gregory1224 First and foremost: the acting in this film is incredible! I remember being one of only 20 people in the movie theatre watching this film upon it's release in 1984. I was sure the Oscars would award at least 4 nominations for the actors in the film. I was also sure the director, Alan Rudolph, would get a screenplay nod. Sadly, neither happened. This, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated love stories ever filmed. The movie has so many twists and turns that your neck feels as if your watching an excellent tennis match.Genevieve Bujold, one of my favorite actresses in the 1970's gives a tour de force performance. You can just look in her eyes and feel her pain, her anguish, and her vulnerability. I get chills just thinking about her masterful turn in this film. She deserved a best actress nod, and in my opinion the Oscar for her performance.Lesley Ann Warren, one of the best actresses in the 1980's , was so good that you actually feel her angst and pain. She was robbed of a best actress nomination also.Rae Dawn Chong, an actress I was hoping would be offered great roles, not to be in the racist Hollywood casting couch system) is simple marvelous. She was robbed of a supporting nomination nod.Keith Carradine gives another one of his largely ignored underrated performances. His performance deserved a supporting nomination.Lastly, John Larroquette is the biggest surprise of the film. He deserved a supporting actor nomination for his amazingly tight performance.The critics should be tarred and feathered for ignoring this film.With this stated, director Alan Randolph knows what it is like to be ignored by both the critics and the academy. His films Afterglow (Julie Christie got best actress nomination on because her powerful performance could not be ignored by the academy, however, they did ignore Nick Nolte's equally powerhouse performance, and Welcome to LA are just two of his great films.One day America will discover his films...in general, je just writes and directs great performances.Choose Me is one of his many great films to watch.

dakangan Viewers who are fans of Titanic and made-for-the-masses, fat part of the bell curve movies are likely to miss the subtle, internal drama, the kind that adults experience, that is going on when there appears to be nothing going on in Choose Me. This film accomplishes what cinema has great trouble doing, capturing and expressing the psychological realities operating even in seemingly banal human events. This is a film for adults who can afford to reflect on life and experience. We all have heard about the junior high girls who saw Titanic fifty times during its run. One wonders how much of an impression was left. I have seen this film several times over the last 18 years, and I found myself recommending it today. It makes a subtle impression that lasts.

cookiela2001 This film has always struck a special chord with me, although not all of the friends I've recommended it to over the years have liked it. I think you have to be a city person who's gone through some hard knocks in love to really embrace it. The scenes featuring Rae Dawn Chong aren't so special...(she's the weakest link)...but the scene where Bujold chats with Carradine after sex while getting dressed for work, the scenes with Dr. Love on the radio, the scene where Warren comes home from work to find that her roommate has stolen her boyfriend...these all have an immediate, bittersweet quality that's very haunting. Overall, the acting is flawless, and the whole film is an original. I only wish it were longer.
