She still hears his... In Anthony Minghella's directorial debut, Nina (Juliet Stevenson) is trying to put her life back together following the untimely death of her boyfriend, Jamie (Alan Rickman). She still hears his voice in her head, telling her to lock the back door, or instructing her in the proper way to brush her teeth. Nina gets the shock of her life when Jamie returns to her--still dead, but there in the flesh nevertheless. Just as the two settle back into their comfortable relationship, Nina meets Mark (Michael Maloney), a kind, quirky fellow who is obviously drawn to her. Nina is then caught between two worlds and two men--one dead and from and her past, the other alive and in the present. A supporting cast of mildly eccentric characters adds flavor to this romantic comedy about finding love where and when you least expect it. Stevenson is enchanting as Nina, instilling her with humor and grief simultaneously. Rickman's performance as Jamie, a dead cellist who brings other dead friends to hang out at Nina's flat, is wonderfully subtle and droll. [More]

Truly Madly Deeply is an odd duck of a movie that never really gets off the ground.

As a metaphor for the experience of bereavement, the conceit is over-extended, though Stevenson almost makes it work.

Even though the ghosts can walk through walls the script can't get past its emotionally manipulative love story.

Juliet Stevenson gives a heartfelt performance as an English woman who travels to the far country of grief and almost doesn't make it back.

"a slightly cerebral 'Ghost' for the art-house crowd"

Odd, effective little comedy fantasy anchored by leads.

This is a wonderful, disarming film, sort of like Ghost, but with all the Hollywood drained from it, leaving nothing on screen but the truth of the matter.
