Sharon does not lose her faith, but she begins to feel, after another tragedy, that God...read the complete Rapture, The (1991) review at IMDB.com

It is certainly thought-provoking if nothing else. Mimi Rogers stars as a woman who lives a wild, hedonistic life, then converts to Christianity. She believes the end of the world is coming soon and takes drastic measures to ensure that her child is...read the complete Rapture, The (1991) review at Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)

Many moons ago I saw this film and I was destroyed. I cried through so much of this movie. I saw it again recently and it still had the same effect. The movie has affected my attitude about life and death.

Having seen this movie several years ago, I have to say the reviewers on this site have said it all...I have nothing to add since they wrote almost precisely what I would have. I very much recommend this film and applaud the acting of the characters, ...
