Great movie even on repeat viewings

[Machiabelly · 10/10 · 8 November 2003]

I was very surprised to see that this movie only had a 5.3 rating. My wife and I caught it on the Movie Network a couple of months ago and we were both blown away by it. Great cast and a beautiful story. We recently watched it for the second time, and knowing the twist at the end did not take away very much from our viewing enjoyment. Find this movie and watch it, preferably with someone you love.

"The Sixth Sense" plus lyrical spirituality

[born2broadcast · 30 November 2002]

The sleeper of the year, perhaps the decade, "Now and Forever," which won t he audience award at the Festival of Festivals in Cathedral City, CA., is a movie waiting to be discovered. A story of cross-cultural love, prejudice and eternal commitment, the film was expertly directed by Bob Clark ("A Christmas Story"). He kept things simple, involving and on track every minute. Casting: perfect. Location: marvelous. Emotional pull of the story: overwhelming, flawlessly combining elements of "Romeo and Juliet," "The Sixth Sense" and "Ghost" to keep the audience constantly involved in the drama. And the ending is a total surprise. When I saw it, people of all ages loved this film and demanded to know when they could see it again. And that is another story: Bob Clark is literally betting the ranch, putting up his own money to distribute the film himself to prove to major studios that a film which has his total support is also a viable commercial product. A film that demands to be seen. Four stars.

A movie that shows love never dies

[dbschool · 10/10 · 25 May 2006]

My husband and I rented this movie tonight and were caught completely off guard and totally blown away with this film! The spiritual content is so much more touching than the movie "Ghost". This movie will touch your heart and soul. A beautiful portrayal of how the bonds of love last forever. I loved the Native American elements that made this film so touching. A blending of two cultures into a true friendship between the main characters was informative as well as entertaining. I wish there were more movies like this out on the market. My congratulations to the writers, directors and talent for producing such a heart warming film. Great acting and beautiful location also add so much to the film as does the music as well. Entertaining, surprising and and unexpected ending all add up to an excellent film.

great movie! very emotional!

[cutiepatootie_ok · 9/10 · 17 December 2005]

I saw this movie at Blockbuster, and I'd never heard of it, so I picked up the box and read the back of it. It looked interesting, so I rented it, but I didn't really expect anything from it. I woke up one morning and watched it, and it was amazing. I laughed, and I cried... more crying than laughing. It shows the true meaning of love, even when most wouldn't think such love is possible. Not to mention, it has Adam Beach in it, and he is amazing. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who just wants to see a great movie, and wants to have their emotions pricked. It will definitely get your emotions going full speed. Great movie.

A Great and powerful romantic/drama....

[Movie-Guru · 14 November 2002]

I caught this film at a local film festival (and even got to meet the director himself) and I must say, this is one of the best drama/romance movies I've ever seen. I don't usually care for romance/drama films because they all turn out to be the same, but this film is truly a great work of art, the acting, the direction, the lighting, the locations, everything about this film is beautiful, and the twist at the end will leave you speechless. Clark and Beach's finest piece of work to date. 5 - 5 stars.

A Touching Story that Endures in Your Heart

[userray2305 · 10/10 · 3 November 2004]

Against a backdrop of clashing cultures, John Myron and Angela Wilson find each other and over the years form a powerful bond. One tragic night, John rescues Angela from a wicked act of betrayal.

Faced with its aftermath, Angela flees town, unaware that she has put into motion a dramatic and intense string of events that will forever change the course of their lives. Harboring a secret, John guides Angela to a shocking realization that will uncover the past.

Now & Forever is a dramatic contemporary love story combining elements of spirituality, heart and integrity. They say sooner or later all love stories will end; Now & Forever is the exception...

A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL FILM.

Excellent Movie

[kimmer_e7 · 10/10 · 22 June 2005]

Hello! I hope to bring to your attention a movie I previously saw on TV and immediately fell in love with it. I tried to find it for sale to no avail. I tried again this weekend, to find new release information and am so excited to see it is being released!!! I hope you will consider going to this Absolutely Wonderful movie. "Now & Forever" was produced in 2001 and has won the Outstanding Canadian Feature award at the ReelWorld Film Festival in Toronto in 2003. I can not give this movie, the cast, the director, the writer, the producers and all the others involved enough accolades. I guarantee that you WILL NOT be disappointed!

wonderful and touching story

[kynicole1977 · 8/10 · 30 May 2006]

This was an excellent movie with fabulous actors!!!!!! I had seen this movie on the shelf for months and finally had a chance to watch it. I was pleasantly surprised. All of the actors played each part to perfection. It was a very emotional piece and I used several tissues. THis is an excellent story of love, friendship, and devotion that everyone should watch and they should watch it with a special person. The setting was perfect. Two thumbs up for Adam Beach who is always great!!!!! I think this is the best love story that I have seen in years and I only wished I had heard about it sooner. Watch it as fast as you can.

Nice movie to watch with a BF or girlfriends

[hupahumazaska · 8/10 · 28 May 2008]

I expected little when I purchased this DVD. I'd never heard of the title and the sole reason I wanted to get it was because I'm a fan of Adam Beach. I was pleasantly surprised by the storyline and I was completely caught off guard at the end. I love movies that do that - just like "The Sixth Sense". I was also surprised by how much the movie actually moved me to tears (not wailing kind of tears but droplets). I didn't expect that either, which was probably the key to really enjoying this film.

I would recommend this film to my girlfriends. I actually watched it with my husband and he enjoyed it! John/Pico (played by Adam) is a very romantic character and he definitely has the charm that can grab you unexpectedly....

Bittersweet

[bonnie-25376 · 10/10 · 4 August 2018]

I loved this film, it was brilliantly bittersweet with a massive plot twist at the end.

I never cry during these movies

[im-not-so-bold · 10/10 · 12 July 2008]

I have never cried during love stories and usually thought of them as kind of dorky, but I bawled like crazy and didn't want the movie to end.

I am of aboriginal ancestry, and really appreciated the cultural differences and integrity that the film had in such portrayals.

I am adding this to my library of movies, as well as getting everyone I know to watch it... thus far no one has expected it to be this good.

The atmosphere of the narration and storyline, builds the story to a phenomenal heart-wrenching moment...

yup... loved it...

Best movie ever

[britnai_18 · 10/10 · 30 July 2006]

When i was 8 months pregnant with my little girl i was watching TV at home all by myself.. i turned to this movie that i started watching thinking nothing of it. By the time the movie ended i was in love and wanted to tell everyone about it. Its now been two years and i still never ever have found that movie I have literatly looked every where for it and no store or movie places has it. I have only saw the movie once in my life and would love to see it again and i cant even seem to download it. The movie touched my heart and i would really love to see it and own it so i can prove to everyone how great the movie really is. I have just placed an order for it at jumbo so hopefully i get it soon I'm still waiting on the call.....cant wait!! Britnai. R. mwah

I did not see this one coming !

[jeanniealways · 10/10 · 22 December 2006]

WOW!! I love everything so far that I have seen Adam Beach in, but this movie I would have to say is my overall favorite from him, at least so far because he is an exceptional artist. I only just seen it on 12/20/06 for the first time on LMN and then again last night, this movie really should have made him one of the top leading male box office stars. In regards to Mia Kirshner, I have seen her in a few things, and believed she always came across as a little over the top, but after seeing her in this movie, I have change my mind and look forward to seeing more of her. I guess now I will see Black Dahlia. I will go out and by Now & Forever for myself and several friends and highly recommend it to everyone I meet, now and forever!

Tugs At the Heartstrings In A Good Way

[christeen-77670 · 10/10 · 6 February 2021]

One of best films I have ever seen. It shows true friendship and I cry every time I watch it.
