Customer Reviews of Boxing Helena
Is everyone else [...]? I couldn't believe it when I read the reviews that [pepole] have written about this movie. I'm not surprised anymore when people I know say they've never even HEARD of it...but usually when someone has seen it, they agree with me that it's an AMAZING movie.
It's not a movie that can be watched with half of your brain. [....] You have to PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE.
There are undeniably breathtaking scenes in this film. How could someone watch it and not be chilled, thrilled and completely turned on? I'll never hear a song by Enigma again and not think of Julian Sands being watched from the closet....OUTSTANDING!
I've recommended this movie to friends time and time again. Since the day I first saw it, it's occupied a place in my top 10 and I'm sure it always will. Watch and learn about humanity, insanity, sexuality and obsession.
An interesting idea
I saw "Boxing Helena" because I'm such a fan of director David Lynch and it had been directed by his daughter Jennifer, plus it stars "Twin Peaks" alum Fenn and the director of photography worked on the series as well. While technically proficient, the film is terribly flawed by occasionally hammy performances by everyone, especially Sands and the inexplicable Bill Paxton (yes, he is in the movie, though he may never admit to it), and additionally by terribly stilted and unoriginal dialogue. On the plus side the film deals with some fascinating ideas, such as the border between love and obsession and the notion of the 'boxes' that we put ourselves in emotionally. The ending will come as a bit of a surprise to most, and it helps if you view the entire thing as a fable rather than a realistic portrayl of a story.
Whatever Happened to Julian Sands?
Poor guy got stuck in this movie. That's what. After watching A Room With A View I immediately bought Boxing Helena. Big mistake. Even renting it would have been a waste of money. I heard from friends it was a horrid movie but I was going to watch it with an open mind. At least if it was bad I could stare at Julian Sand, hear his wonderful accent ane be content. No....this has got to be the worst movie made. Some of the scenes were downright laughable. When Sherilyn Fenn get her legs run over by the car....the way the scene played out made me and my roomates burst into laughter.
Couldn't control my giggles at Bill Paxton with a mullet overacting in every scene. Julian Sands character was such a wimp. In his case, hamming his performance up might have been better in this movie. Didn't care for him at all, even with his sexy accent. Sherilyn Fenn, I was wishing Julian Sands character would take our her lungs.

The ending....it could have been ten times better without that silly dream sequence.
And don't get me started on the sex scene. Julian Sands kissing HElena Bonham Carter at the end of A Room With A View was ten times sexier than the scene in Boxing Helena.
If I could give it less than 1 star I would. I wondered why after seeing A Room With A View, how come I haven't seen him in anything else. After watching garbage like Boxing Helena I understand. Must try and find another good Julian Sands movie now, if there is one to be had besides A Room With A View. Boxing Helena was not it.
