Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Like Hitchcock, Atom Egoyan envisions family life as a potential hotbed of literal or figurative violence and incest. In Felicia's Journey, Egoyan's adaptation of William Trevor's shattering novel, one dreads to imagine what TV-cook mom (Arsinée Khanjian) did to so damage her pudgy son that grown- up Hilditch (Bob Hoskins) still prepares meals in perfect unison with faded videotapes of her show--and, as we eventually discover, often takes more sinister trips down Memory Lane. Distant kin to Psycho's Tony Perkins, Hoskins's troll is so obsessive, so traumatized, his every short-armed, fat-handed gesture and sing-song utterance is precisely calculated to keep reality safely buried. Egoyan's movies often seem located underwater, in some surreal dreamscape where one's breath is perpetually suspended while a slow horror seeps ever deeper under the skin. Helpless, transfixed, one watches as his characters drive inexorably toward mined intersections where lives and souls may be lost or redeemed. When Hilditch's path crosses, diverges from, and finally coincides with that of young, pregnant Felicia (Elaine Cassidy)--an Irish innocent searching for her errant boyfriend--it leads to terrible epiphany for these fellow travelers. Trouble is, creepy Hilditch and too-naive Felicia come up a bit short in the psychological complexity department, so by film's end, revelatory payoffs are mostly penny ante. Felica's Journey tours familiar Egoyan territory--an industrialized wasteland full of hungry hearts--but this latest fairy tale (think perverse variations on Hansel and Gretel) isn't in the same league with such "family values" masterpieces as Exotica or The Sweet Hereafter. --Kathleen Murphy Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Elaine Cassidy...As I do completely love Elaine Cassidy and count myself among many of her adoring fans...I've asked myself would I like this movie as much as I do if she wasn't in it...The answer is probably not if I'm being truthful with myself and you...So therefore, speaking strictly as a fan of her's is the only way that I could rightfully spew forth my most humble opinion of this film... Elaine is especially gifted at playing an innocent character. And indeed Felicia is the most innocent girl that's walking ... Read More Rating: - Felicia's JourneyAlthough Leonard Maltin gives this film a tepid review in his Video Guide, I find it a very well made film. I had not watched it since the time when it was sold in video cassette, and I'd forgotten how good it was. Bob Hoskins performance is especially good. The movie is quite frightening, especially if one has never seen it and doesn't know the outcome, but it leaves one with a lot to think about. The style is somewhat like that of a Neil Jordan film. Rating: - Dinner with a Serial KillerThis is a movie in the Hitchcock style, this time without gore, but with subtle terror. Some of the scenes are homages to the master, but this does not detract from their effectiveness. (I'm thinking of glass of milk carried up the stairs in Suspicion.) The movie is suspenseful, and scary as mild-mannered catering supervisor Hilditch befriends the lost traveller Felicia as she struggles to find her missing boyfriend. On the surface, Mr. Hilditch seems so nice, but as his little ... Read More Rating:  - A JOURNEY TO REMEMBER...This film adaptation of William Trevor's novel of psychological suspense, for which its author was the recipient of the 1994 Whitbread Award, is one that those who read the book should see, as well as those who like unusual films of psychological suspense. After reading the book, I became curious as to how a film adaptation would work, as so much of the book involves the introspections of two people whose lives interconnect. Despite some of its shortcomings, it is definitely a film worth seeing, if only for ... Read More Rating: - Theater, Film & MusicLike "Exotica," Felicia's Journey focuses on impossible dreams, but murders we never see are the reality in the background. Wonderful music links what will never be with what we do not want to know. Lost girl (Elaine Cassidy) receives lots of help from too-lonely professional(Bob Hoskins),who turns out to be a serial killer. His victims come to life in one-minute video clips - a great theater mask - you know they're already dead. "Rest in Peace" sung in Gaelic by Kate Crossan during the final credits is a gorgeous ...
