 Rating:  - This movie will stay with youThis is a movie about loss and love and tragedy and hope. The characters are well crafted and especially Andrew McCarthy's and Rosanna Arquette's acting is absolute brilliance. "I'm Losing You" leaves you with the wish of staying with these characters, of finding out how their lives continue and if they will be able to find happiness in the end. I know that I will carry this movie in my heart for a long time. Oh, and on a lighter note: In the movie, Frank Langella's character is the ... Read More Rating:  - A Meditation on Death and Dying: Reconstructing a FamilyBruce Wagner's screen adaptation of his novel I'M LOSING YOU has some of the more intelligent dialogue to be encountered in a film. Since Wagner also directed this little gem, brimming over with excellent actors, we can be assured that his message of death as a necessary component in the cycle of life is intact. Despite the dour content of the story this film actually leads to a credible sense of how deaths can ultimately be redemptive: it is all in how vulnerable we allow ourselves to become in coping ...

Some strong scenes, and some good acting, but some of the dialog was - I can only call it - "artificially sharp." (But that might be the way the characters were supposed to be, according to the writer.) We were sort of looking forward to seeing the film just end, to be honest. I recorded it from TV, and have now erased it. Rating: - A Wonderful FilmI rented this film on a whim while looking around a video store. I was hooked from the first scene on. The story centers around a television producer who has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer and his family. His adopted daughter is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. His son a frustrated actor with a young daughter and a self-destructive ex-wife, becomes involved with an HIV-Positive woman. The film is basicaly about death and redemption. The story is beautifully written and the acting is superb. ... Read More Rating: - he didn't lose me cos he never had meThough I am unfamiliar with Bruce Wagner's novel, which he has adapted and directed himself, going from the book's editorial comments I have researched, the movie version seems to be vastly different. The book was praised for it's powerful and revolting representation of Hollywood characters and their drug-dazed sexually abusive lifestyles. Oliver Stone is quoted as saying the book "is like a wire stretched across the throat." However Wagner's screenplay seems to have lost most of the book's characters, their cell ...
