Estar com Você - O Filme (2004)

This movie is simply amazing.The story is full of love within the family which is heartwarming and can move anyone in tears.After I read the "coming back to life"concept of the movie.I said"Nothing new" ,"I know what will happen" but turned out wrong.The story is really different and has it's unique story that unpredictable. The three main casts did an outstanding performance that makes the movie more special.Though you might find the movie a little slow,I think it just help you feel the emotions and makes you go deeper into the story.The music is also good and makes the movie more beautiful and heartbreaking.The Ending is really awesome and not disappointing.It explains and answers all the mysteries and questions while leaving the audiences in a emotional state.Overall this movie is not a waste of time and REALLY worth watching.

This was a terrific film. It's a well-written romance about a woman who returns from the grave to visit her husband and young son. And since I enjoy the sci-fi angle in movies and dramas, the whole idea of 'returning from the grave' didn't bother me at all (especially since it's not a horror-type situation).

As I watched the movie, I began to care for the three main characters. This was due to the top-notch acting of the cast: Takeuchi Yuko's Mio was a strong, graceful and warm character. Nakamura Shido & Takei Akashi were both fine in their roles.

The photography and the music added to the overall success of the movie. The only downside that some viewers might have with the movie is its sentimentality. But for me, it was an enjoyable movie experience. I still have my 'teru teru bozu' doll I made after watching this emotional film.
