Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The only good thing about the movie was that the plot was great. But the movie is wrong in ways. First, what does the name of the movie indicate to you? To me, it sounds like that some detective story where the central character tries to bring the criminal to justice. Now, if you see the movie, you know what it is about. The son tries to go back to the past to bring back his father. And, all the time, the son, Erol, has this attitude that his father is some kind of criminal. Here, my friend, I find this movie morally offensive. And that is the most important thing for a movie to me. The son Erol is a hypocrite. He loves his mother, and so he wants to go back to fix everything, but when his girlfriend is pregnant, he doesn't want to go! Again, he wants to go when he learns that his girlfriend suffers an abortion. I mean, come on. You want to blame your father for abandoning you, and yet you don't do the right thing when you have the chance; you only do it when it is convenient. How can you, after that, blame somebody who actually tried to do something for the greater good and get killed accidentally? How can you judge him? Needless to say, only the acting for Gillian Anderson was fitting, all other casts were *nothing special*, and the central character was the worst. The dialogues could be improved a lot more. The lack of emotion in the most important scene is conspicuous. Overall, the direction and story ruined most of the movie in combination with the dull casts.

My dad was flipping through movies on Amazon and came across this one. As a fan of Gillian Anderson, I was surprised I'd never heard of this movie before. We decided to watch it and weren't disappointed. I had no expectations going in, and I ended up enjoying the movie for what it is. The acting was good, as well as the characters. I didn't expect the whole time travel thing, so that was a pretty cool development. Side note: just a warning for those who have a hard time with the subject of suicide- there is a suicide in this movie. You don't actually see the act, but you see when the body is discovered and it's a very emotional scene.

"I'll Follow You Down" is just out on DVD and it's certainly not a typical sort of sci-fi film. It's a lot slower, more deliberate and a bit more cerebral than many films in the genre, but if you are patient I think it's worth your time.When the film begins, a professor goes off on a business trip and never returns. Exactly what happened and where he is now is a complete mystery. Unfortunately, his family does not handle his disappearance well. His wife (Gillian Anderson) becomes very depressed and over the following dozen years, she attempts suicide repeatedly. His son, Erol (played as an adult by Haley Joel Osment), is a mess as well and abandons his extremely promising career in favor of staying home and keeping an eye out on his unstable mom. He's also trying to balance his relationship with his girlfriend...and he's having a poor time with all these pressures. As for the disappeared man's father, Sal (Victor Gerber), he's also got his problems. To put it bluntly, they're all a mess. However, there is a strange and unbelievable chance that all this mess can be avoided when Sal looks through his son's notes and realizes that the guy MIGHT have disappeared when he tried out a time machine. He might have gone back to the 1940s and somehow never found his way back. Can he and his super-genius grandson, Erol, somehow construct their own time device and prevent the disappearance in the first place...and thus save the family?If you want a film to jump into the action, this is NOT a film for you. The work to create this second time machine didn't even begin until about 2/3 of the way through the film and many folks will be annoyed by this slow pace. However, I didn't mind because once the film finally got moving, it really paid off well. The ending also manages to offer some surprises--something that seems to happen too infrequently.In addition to an interesting plot, I liked seeing an adult Osment. His career has been a bit slower of late as he's clearly not some gifted child actor anymore and much of his recent work has been done doing voiceovers for video games. While not looking anything like a typical leading man, he was nice in the film--and Gerber and Anderson were also very, very nice. Overall, I'd recommend this film mostly because it is so unique.

I'm not a sci-fi fan, but I do like a puzzle - this didn't deliver.What we get is an emotional family drama, with an excellent performance by Anderson that gives ballast to the story. Pity she leaves early on. After that I found it sentimental.The vagary of fate in parallel universes is pointed up well, but the working out of the puzzle is a bit blah. And the second act is too long, leaving too little time in the end for the time travel - just 20 mins. That's when the audience should be having fun. The gunshot is unexpected, but not really satisfying - plus it's an easy out for the film maker in avoiding the cheesiness of meeting Einstein.The lead actor is very confident, convincing in his early scenes, but didn't deliver any great line and didn't look the part.The string music is conventional.
