Hereafter (2010)

To many of us the phrase real psychic is an oxymoron. This movie actually pokes a little fun at that as well. For the believers, this movie gives proper reverance to those on both sides.

This is not however, an easy movie to watch. That might explain why it did not do better at the box office. The story jumps around a bunch, sometimes masterfully; sometimes a little confusing. One must pay attention and keep up with the subtitles during the Paris scenes.

Matt Damon does a very interesting job playing the publicity shy introverted psychic. Cécile De France is fantastic as a new convert to the possibility that something and someone is on the other side of the veil. The McLaren twins do a great job being themselves.

Clint Eastwood does his usual classy job directing this complex story. It begins and ends well and makes for very interesting watching between.

Watch this movie with someone who can discuss spiritual issues without getting all religious.
