Screendaily (Emanuel Levy)
This rural tale is beuatifully acted by Ellen Burstyn and other, but its narrative is incoherent, trying to fuse new feminist ideas with sentimental conventions about the healing power of love. ...read the complete Resurrection movie review at Screendaily (Emanuel Levy)

Here is a film that won Academy Award nominations and has received a tremendous amount of positive reviews on this site and elsewhere ever since it came out in 1980 - obviously a film and a story that has moved many people. Why, then, is it not even out ...

It is sad that this movie can't be released on DVD? When movies that are absolute waste of time and money are being released daily. I love this movie, it had me threw the whole picture.
To bad it will be seen by so few. Waiting for someone in ...

(*SPOILER WARNING*) Resurrection is loosely based on the experiences of Rosalyn Bruyere, a woman with expansive experience in energy based healing (She was also a technical advisor for the movie). Ellen Burstyn is absolutely realistic in her role as ...

I recently was able to record Resurrection from cable. I believe it was on Starz. This may be the only way to get this remarkable film. All the other reviews nail it...this has a five star rating from all reviews, and nothing below a five in overall ...

This is one of the best films ever made on the subject of what happens when we die. It's supremely well acted, written, directed and musically composed. It's moving in ways no other film ever has or probably can touch. A screen gem of the highest order. ...

Another gem that somehow fell through the cracks, despite its Academy Award-nominated performaces by Ellen Burstyn and Eva Le Gallienne. With so much junk on DVD, why does Resurrection remain mysteriously absent? Makes absolutely no sense to me. Hmmph. ...

It's been 20 plus years since I've last seen this movie and I still can't get it out of my head. Every now and then I look on Netflix just to see if its there. No such luck. For the heck of it I looked on Amazon and was pleasantly surprised to see a mini ...

I promise I will not go into my "where's the DVD rant", we all know its not even on the horizon. What a powerful film. A widescreen release with extras is all we ask. So many tapped into human emotions prevail in this story of a semi-reluctant miracle ...

Resurrection I first saw this movie on HBO in 1981. It is one of the most moving stories I have ever seen and has since that time been at the top of my favorite movies list. The cast is wonderful and the roles exceptionally performed. Though the story ...
