Passion Of Mind
What if you had two lives at once. What if you didn't know which life was real and which was a dream.
Demi Moore "has never been better" (Jan Wahl, NBC-TV) as she stars in this provocative drama about a woman who lives between two worlds full of passion and love, knowing that one world must be a dream and, somehow, both are about to collide.
Marty (Moore) is a high-powered New York literary agent, well respected and devoted to her work. But she has another life as Marie, a single mother raising two children in the lyrical setting of the French countryside. She goes asleep in one world, only to awaken in the other, which seems equally real. But when love enters both lives, she must follow her heart and make a choice that will determine her destiny.
Co-starring Stellan Skarsgard (Good Will Hunting) and William Fichtner (A Perfect Storm), this spellbinding mystery is "captivating...a beautiful an unpredictable film." (Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview)

Demi Moore is a very beautiful woman, and once again she proves that beauty alone cannot carry a movie. I've seen many of her movies, and only one of them really stands out to me as one that's worth watching more than once, and that's "A Few Good Men" - but it's worth watching for Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. Demi is basically window-dressing there.
"Passion of Mind" is typical Demi stuff. She has a troubled life as Marie/Marty - troubled because she isn't sure which one she really is; one life is a dream, the other reality. As Marie, she's a mother of two in France, as Marty she's a high powered literary agent in New York. Then in both lives she falls in love: in France with William (Stellan Skarsgård) and in New York with Aaron (William Fichtner.) The movie at times is confusing as she shifts from one life to another (which is all right, because it surely points to the confusion she has herself in trying to sort out reality from fantasy) and although there are hints from the very beginning as to which life is real (I took a guess that turned out to be right almost right away, but it was a guess) it does remain a mystery until the end. The last fifteen minutes or so of the movie add the needed emotional heart-wrencher as she says good-bye to those in her fantasy world and prepares for life in reality.
All fine. The primary problem with the movie is that Demi is living out two lives, neither one of which - quite honestly - are all that interesting, and which, as a result, don't make for particularly interesting viewing. In the end, this is a pretty standard Demi Moore movie. She doesn't offer a particularly energetic performance, but she's OK, and the movie isn't particularly good, but it isn't awful either.Oh my god I loved this movie! - Wentai
This was the greatest movie ever! I loved it. I can't believe it has not done better. Demi Moore is great and the storyline even better. Zip this movie -- it's wonderful.
One of her lives is as an executive in New York. Her other life is as a widow in beautiful Provence, France. Both lives can't be real and she begins to question the nature of reality. It's fantastic! I loved this movie!
