Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

LiquidPoetry1921 I am SO glad I stumbled across "Felicia's Journey', as it is a fantastic diabolical thriller that reminds you of the films from the late-great Alfred Hitchcock!I am intentionally not going into specifics about the rich, incredible story-line of this film. I do not want to alert the viewer to the shocks and gasps that one will unexpectedly encounter throughout the entire course of this movie! Saying it is both phenomenal and brilliant would be a major understatement.Highly, highly recommend! 🎞

Sunny Lewis When will I learn not to be swayed by critics, especially those with laudable reputations? Roger Ebert, who is in general one of the best, gave this movie 3 1/2 stars, while the lesser known Kamal 'The Diva" Larsuel came right out with this pronouncement: "This movie sucked." I should have heeded The Diva. The only reason I gave it a 2 rather than a 1 was because of the acting, which is superb - Bob Hoskins is fantastic, as usual, and so is Elaine Cassidy as Felicia. But the story is a complete bore - I kept waiting for things to heat up and they never really do - after a good deal of dullness the temperature rises from room to tepid. I don't think I'll be guilty of writing a spoiler by saying that the ending is ridiculous and contrived. So don't count on anything but good acting and occasional nice scenery and you won't be disappointed.

texxas-1 I watched this film about 6 years ago when I was Felicia's age, and I have never seen anything so depressing. I felt so down after watching this horrible film and I hated all men. Felicia's journey totally makes you see how scummy some men can be and I'm not talking about the old man that tried to kill her, I mean the lowlife that slept with her, promised to keep in touch then doesn't. If you're going to use and abuse a 17 year old girl at least have the decency not to knock her up in a country where abortion is illegal! Then of course there was the user's horrible mother who was trying to keep Felicia away from him, then there was Felicia's killer friend who sees the user shes looking for but doesn't tell Felicia, at one point they all end up in the same pub together but he says nothing hoping Felicia wont see. It was so depressing. The only decent thing the killer does is get Felicia the abortion. Felicia never does get reunited with the user who knocked her up which makes it even more depressing, even though by the end of the film shes over him.

Jackson Booth-Millard I think I saw a trailer for this film, and I wondered what it was about, and since it was four stars from the critics I thought I'd give it a go. Basically middle-aged catering manager Joe Hilditch (Bob Hoskins) spends all his time studying tapes of eccentric French TV chef Gala (Arsinée Khanjian), and following her recipes. Meanwhile, young woman Felicia (Elaine Cassidy) is making her way from Irelandto find her boyfriend Johnny Lysaght (Peter McDonald), who moved to England to work in a lawnmower factory. On arrival, she briefly meets Hilditch, who recommends a boarding room to her, oh, and we see more of her relationship with Johnny in flashbacks. I certainly wasn't expecting it, but it is revealed to us (the audience) that he has in fact befriended and abused many other young women, and he has taped them! Oh, and he also has flashes of a horrible experience with being on TV with Gala as a child! He of course has his sites set on Felicia, but he won't do anything to her until she has gained his trust, "helped" her in her search, and persuaded her to abort a baby she will be having. He does eventually get to stage where he can make his move, and of course the next morning you see the blood on her night dress. He is quickly visited by the slightly crazy and religion obsessed woman who tries to make him be part of her "path of happiness", and I'm not sure but I think he saw the error of his ways, and he lets Felicia go, and hangs himself. Also starring Claire Benedict as Miss Calligary, Brid Brennan as Mrs. Lysaght, Gerard McSorley as Felicia's Father and Sheila Reid as Iris. This is what I like to refer to as the nut-case film, not exactly the same as them, to similar to the characters from films like One Hour Photo and Misery. Bob Hoskins was number 37 on The 50 Greatest British Actors. Very good!
