About this movie

Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) writes, produces and makes his directorial debut with this timeless supernatural fantasy based on Mark Helprin's best-selling novel. Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, it is a story of miracles, crossed destinies and the age-old battle between good and evil. Colin Farrell plays a turn-of-the-century Irish thief who encounters a terminally ill heiress while robbing her house. Falling irrevocably in love with her, his only option is to discover a way to stop time and bring her back from death. In addition to the sweeping, romantic story, Akiva Goldsman's passion project features a remarkable roster of acting talent including Downton Abbey's Jessica Brown Findlay and Oscar® winners Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind), William Hurt (Kiss of the Spider Woman), Eva Marie Saint (On the Waterfront) and Russell Crowe (Gladiator).

Ratings and reviews

Far fetched story, which is no bad thing, but kinda drags on a bit. A film to watch once, but not a classic that you could enjoy again and again! (If like me you can re-watch great films 100 times)

Captivating wonderful film. Good versus evil. Angel versus demon. No comparison to ' Cloud Atlas ' this is a feel good film one may even choke -up on occasion. Colin Farrell and Russell Crowe shine

Call me an old romantic but this is lovely.... And a true example that love conquers all... Well here it does anyway Highly recommend, just have tissues at the ready... This is a chick flick unless you have a man who has an eye for a good love story..... Rare right? Open your mind... Your heart and enjoy, the music is fantastic it will sweep u away good old Hans
