Truly Madly Deeply is an intelligent, moving, and deeply funny story about love and death. Nina (Juliet Stevenson), a scatterbrained professional translator, has lost the love of her life, Jamie (Die Hard's Alan Rickman). As her life (and her flat) slowly falls to pieces, she's inundated by an endless stream of repair men and eligible suitors. But rather than go on with life, Nina dwells on her dead love, slumped at her piano, endlessly playing half of a Bach duet. Then, in a truly magical sequence, his cello suddenly joins her melody ... and Jamie's back from the dead.
At first it's bliss. (Think of the superficially similar blockbuster Ghost--only with real people instead of pretty faces Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze.) But Nina gradually realizes it's a thoroughly real Jamie who's back, complete with every annoying, argumentative fault she'd conveniently forgotten. (He might be dead, he explains, but he still attends political meetings.) Moreover, he has to hide whenever any of the living are around. And he's constantly ice-cold. And he invites his dead pals to her place at all hours. What's a living woman to do?
Director Anthony Minghella went on to create the melodramatic period piece The English Patient--but in this film, he shows a far more sensitive, subtle touch. The photography is brilliant, capturing the simple beauties of suburban London. And the wonderfully acted characters, quirky and all too real, will keep you laughing--and always guessing what will happen next.--Grant Balfour

Rating:  - Recovering from love and loss
This is one of my all-time favorite films.Not only are the actors top-notch, and the dialogue smart, but the subject, losing someone one loves, at a young age, for an absurd reason (a cold gone bad) is one of entertainment's most heart-wrenching dramas. This lovely film isquietly intelligent, and sometimes frankly hilarious.I adore Alan Rickman in anything, and Juliet Stevenson is equally marvelous here. Casting is superb throughout.The denouement is both 10-hanky poignant and marvelously ... Read More
Rating:  - A very bittersweet film
There aren't enough words in the dictionary to adequately describe Alan Rickman. He is a true gem and a ridiculously underatted actor. It is such a shame for there is no one that can compare to him.
Truly, Madly, Deeply is, for some reason, labeled as a comedy. While there are cute, funny moments- 99% of which occur when Alan Rickman is onscreen-this is, without a doubt, a heartbreaking romantic drama. It leaves you feeling achy and depressed throughout the whole film and you can't but ... Read More
Rating: - Truly Madly Deeply Wonderful
This film is amazing.I have never had a film pull at the heart strings the way that this film did, and I am not a person to be made emotional with a film easily.The acting was wonderful, and Alan Rickman, as always, was stellar. I had a slightly different take of this film than a few of the reviews that I read. *Warning! Spoilers* The way that I took Jamie's fussiness and moments of agitation to Nina (Stevenson's character), was that he was trying to make her remember that he wasn't perfect. In the ... Read More
Rating: - Thank You, David Minghella
Many other reviewers have already said most of what needs to be said about this film.With the recent, too-early death of the film's screenwriter and director, Anthony Minghella, I would only like to add a brief homage.In this film, Minghella taught us about the power of love, the courage of letting go and moving on, and the abiding comfort we obtain through our memories.This is one of the finest movies I have ever seen, and I salute Mr. Minghella's creative genius.We have lost a great artist.
Rating: - Slow start, good middle, great ending
