Review of Somewhere in Time (1980) by Jon C — 03 Oct 2014
Exceptional performances by both Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.
A sweet and charming love story that literally spans over time.
It's funny cause there's a hint of a sci-fi element to the whole thing.
Richard during a party is confronted by an old woman who says ''Please come back to me..'' and he becomes fascinated by her appearance.
When he finds out she's a famous actress on broadway he struggles to find a way to meet her in person and from a fellow valet he's able to hypnotize himself by traveling back into the past and meet her younger self.
From then on the movie turns into a soft, loving and warm romance story about two people who it turns out were destined to change each other's lives from both past and present.
Nothing keeps true feelings at bay whether it be Christopher Plummer as Seymour's mentor or the measures of time or space.
The ending is very sad yet still rewarding to say the least.
This is a great turnaround from the late Reeve than what we're used to seeing him do.
