The very best that Jaglom has yet created!
I caught this film recently on "WE" cable network and was glued to the tv and completely drawn into Deja Vu's world - I felt as if I were living Dana and Sean's story. I have seen several of Mr. Jaglom's films but this is absolutely the best he has ever created. Vicoria Foyt and Stephen Dillane were so wonderful and believable (the whole supporting cast was so perfect especially Vanessa Redgrave) I must agree with so many of the reviewers who stated that this movie has now replaced Casablanca for them. Ditto for me! This movie has something to teach us all about settling for less than true bliss. Then again, I believe that very few of us ever meet our true love/soul mate. But the whole premise (of true love, serendipity, fate, the choices we make, the consequences we must live with) was beautifully and hauntingly handled in this film. Thank you Mr. Jaglom, for a new classic.

Dillane makes it all worthwhile
Deja Vu is an intriguing film that is flawed but worth seeing, chiefly for the brilliant acting of Stephen Dillane and the original, compelling premise of the story.

Unfortunately, the lead actress, Victoria Foyt, brought the film down a notch in my eyes. She is whiny and annoying, and doesn't have the kind of compelling presence the part requires. But then again, she is director Henry Jaglom's wife, so I guess she was a shoo-in!

I liked how the characters had to wrestle with their situation - while their attraction was immediate and undeniable, their loyalty to their existing relationships caused them to wrestle with their consciences and really delve into the importance of love, fate and personal fulfillment.

I had not seen Dillane's work before seeing this film, but have since found his acting to be of consistently high caliber. He does not look like a traditional leading man, but has a magnetic, thoughtful quality that is quite compelling.

Deja Vu is an interesting, quirky film, that could have been truly memorable with a different lead actress, some script tightening (hearing the actors exclaim "What are you doing here?" over and over becomes really grating after a while)and editing, but it is still an enjoyable film that is well worth seeing.

Less than it could have been.
After the terrific reviews, I had expected better.
The Idea is indeed a good one, but the lead actress is... awfull (I'm sorry to say it, but there it is.) She is whiny, complaining, selfish, and just generally irritating.
While watching the movie, I just kept wondering why any of these people would want to spent time with her, let alone, seek her out or leave their wife for her.
To say something good about the film, the filming locations (Paris, Cliffs of Dover, etc.) were excellent and beautiful. And the rest of the cast could act and was wonderful!

DEJA VU: Have you met the love of your life?
If you're a hopeless romantic, then this is the movie for you! Not only does it examine the lifestyles we choose or settle for when it comes to love, but it also deals with the inner struggle we experience between our heart and mind when falling in love, and how coincidences can(if we let them)transform our lives. I promise you that the very last scene of this movie will melt your heart completely.

Deja Vu
Waited a year for this great movie to come out in DVD letterbox (widescreen)...what happened? Normal aspect ratio cuts off people at the edges! When a conservation is going on with facial expressions you miss alot. I'm disappointed! I'm sure the director/producer knows what I'm talking about. ... Read more
