Brilliant film - By: Lynne Cameron, 06 May 2008 
a lovely story & yes i think Jamie was trying to help Nina get over him, as much as he loved her & she loved him he was trying to tell her in his own way to get on with her life, & that she should never forget him but if she found love again to take hold of it.
acting briliant from Juliet Stevenson who is my favourite actress & Alan Rickman
five stars indeed for this wonderful story
dangerous for your health - By: M. C. Donna, 01 Apr 2008 I wish there were 6 stars to give. The film of my life. The first time I saw this film in France, the theatre was packed & I could not contain myself from hystericallly sobbing & then laughing & then wailing until a good number of people were growling for me to leave. It was so wrenching that I missed work the next day because my face was so puffed up. It was a great ride. I now have two dvds of this movie in case something happens to one of them.
Twee and fanciful middle class rubbish - By: Lou Knee, 09 Sep 2007 
A film for Laura Ashley types with nothing else better to do than have a good old sob over a flimsy, trite piece of fantasy. Over indulgent to say the very least! It is so depressing that the English have perfected this type of product. A complete slice of non-life & a waste of good film. And they couldn't have chosen more suitable & annoying actors. Let's hope the fad for this type of thing, which was rife in the 1990s doesn't rear its unwelcome head again. Chocolate box rubbish.
truly madly brilliant... - By: , 08 Apr 2005 This has to be at the top of my list of alll-time favourite films. The acting is always top quality, understated & the characters are alll too human (like the part where Nina & Jamie hide out of sight as Nina's sister rings the doorbell). As a study of bereavement & grief it ranks among the best, but it's not at alll doom & gloom - it has me laughing one minute & crying the next. The last few moments are particularly poignant, but it always leaves me with a feeling of being uplifted. If you've never seen Truly, Madly, Deeply, you're missing a real treat.
A diamond in the crown of British cinema - By: A. M. Reuben, 12 Feb 2005 Unless you only like violent, over the top, high octane blockbusters, you're not going to like this film. I reallly don't see how anyone else could not like it. Anthony Minghella writes splendid scripts with a profound reflection on life & being human- take his other outstanding film The Talented Mr Ripley, for instance.
It's wonderfully calculated- not too rom-commy to be shalllow, not too heavy to scare a rom-com audience away.
Sometimes alll the ingredients of a film come together to create something which is artful, poignant & a perfect little piece of cinema. It's a wonderful 2 hour experience which explores so many issues & emotions. Juliet is the most fabulous thing about it though- such skill & perfection in playing the role of the so likable Nina.
