Very disappointing...

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It was really well made, I like movies that are like this. The stories all connect but very subtly and it hits "taboo" subjects in an interesting manner. It really shows how we are in society also, showing things that we tend to think we have to hide from everyone because of the way they react. The only part I didn't like was the ending, but thats a matter of personal judgment, some may like it a lot. Well done, and the acting was fantastic :) It's a very interesting movie and well worth your time if you have nothing else to do on a Saturday morning, he-he!! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, because it's quite a fantastic movie. If i've repeated myself a lot it's because IMDb won't let me submit anything that's not 10 lines or more.. sorry!

I found this film wonderful for it's philosophic look at what we value. I myself am a countertenor like Daniel Taylor, and I know that my sense of hearing is very important for me!Likewise, I want to say *BRAVO* for the inclusion of Daniel Taylor in the film! I think he added so much! How often are people of the countertenor voice range included in film? --Only the movie Farinelli features one (though, playing a castrato!) I think that film is a great way to open the public to this new (though very old!) way of sining.Perhaps the goal of this film, and the reason why it is so good, is the challenge to thye audience to look at what they value, and insert with that philosophic questiing, new horizions on every front.~Carson

People have five senses (supposedly). So, why not make a movie about five people each having an issue with one of the senses? Wow! Getting goose bumps yet?Such is the shallow nature of "Five Senses", another in a fad of boring "Magnolia" type wannabee flicks which doggedly hammers at its story of loosely interconnected characters in a futile attempt to make it fit its lame premise. We get to see actors moping about incessantly as though bearing the weight of the world on their shoulders. What we don't get is a story with depth, characters sufficiently developed so we can empathize with them, and most of all, a reason to care. A lackluster bit of trite, pretentious, self-involved, stylish filmdom fluff.

Winter, falling leaves, wind, and coldness- those are the main elements we can get from this film. Of course, they create the atmosphere so good, together with the story and the characters. we can see 5 different story's in the film, which connected by technical things (live in the same building, work together or for each other) and the fact that they're all telling us story's about- family relationships, love, and craving for warmness. With the winter, and the great classical music, they remind us the need of the proximity between people, and inside the family. Every character, represent a sense, in a directly way, or the opposite- the lack of the sense. In the main story- a little child got lost,and it's influencing everyone- The mother, the women whom her daughter left the little girl at the park by her self, the doctor who misses his little girl and ask by the police about the misses girl,and the single women and her friend who feel it's a bad sign. The movie start with allot of sadness, (beside the cynical single), but ends with a note of optimism- and again, beside the single women, who gets a big disappointment from her men. The message- everyone wants to be loved, and to have this safe feeling that there is someone who cares for you, and return you in the same way you give him.
