Twice Upon A Yesterday Deals on Lena Headey

Watch it at least twice

This is a fun movie- and makes a lot more dramtic sense than you might think. It has unexpected twists. Yes there is the fantasy of going back to fix what went wrong in a relationship- but even though the fix happens the result is different from what is expected. But it is only on the second viewing that I caght the idea that the reason for the 'time travel' was to enable our main character to escape from 'enchantment'- and that the analogy was a literary one drawn from Don Quixote. In a way the real theme is about what happens when one is willing to chnage and to learn. Does our hero get what he desires in the end? NO- and yes.

Love with a Twist of Fate

If you love Lena Heady and Penelope Cruz as much as I do, you will love this film. It is a realistic look at love in it's purest innocence, taken to the edge when fate steps in as an unstoppable force. Lena and Penelope are upclose and personal, holding their multifaceted emotions in check as only goddesses can do. They hold their own as their mutual lover comically unravels his affectations and steps up to the plate of true love.

Nice little gem

This is a very enjoyable romantic movie. It's about a guy named Victor who gets a second chance to make his relationship work though a magic spell, only to have it all fall apart anyway. Along the way, he meets someone new (the Penelope Cruz character). The ending is especially interesting. On the one hand, the lead up makes it seem like he might end up with his original girlfriend, only to have him reject her and stay with the new girl. However, the same people who helped Victor magically have a second chance find his rejected girlfriend, thus hinting that it might not be the end of the story.

Great Film, Lena Headey is Sublime

Great film, one of those rare finds...It is a love story but not a "chick flick" at all...a fair view from both male and female eyes regarding love and infidelity....thought provoking but not re: morality...just life and human mistakes and redemption...perfectly done
Should not be missed!
