Passion of Mind

by Vivan Rose, age 15, from US

"Passion of Mind" is a strange but uninteresting movie starring Demi Moore. Moore plays a woman who has two lives - one real, and one imaginary. She can't tell them apart, and neither can the viewer - which is frustrating. In one life, she is a smart businesswoman in New York, but her romantic life suffers. In the other life, she is a widowed mother in France. The two lives parallel each other - when she meets a new man in one life, she meets another new guy in the other life. None of this makes much sense.

Split-personality stories are usually more intriguing than "Passion of Mind", if not easy to understand. Plus, both of Moore's lives are terribly dull. Now there's an oxymoron: Why have a fantasy that is every bit as boring as your real life? And why watch a movie as boring as "Passion of Mind"?

Rated PG-13 for sexual content
