Dragonfly – Edited

Kevin Costner plays Joe Darrow, a physician mourning the death of his wife in an accident in South America, where she helped medically. Grief-stricken, Joe works extra shifts at the hospital to take his mind off the incident. His officious boss forces Joe to take time off, but Joe feels obligated to check in on his wife's pediatric patients, fulfilling a promise he made before she left. Visiting the ward, Joe starts to believe that Emily is using the near-death experiences of her terminal patients to communicate with him, through images the children report seeing in their dreams, and symbols they are inexplicably compelled to draw. While the children see Joe as a kindred spirit, the hospital staff worries about how these interactions are agitating them. At home, Joe begins finding other ethereal evidence of his wife's attempt to contact him from beyond the grave, some of it featuring the image of a dragonfly, which was the shape of the birthmark on her shoulder. His friends and a caring neighbor worry that Joe is losing his marbles, especially as his quest becomes more frantic, putting his job in jeopardy.

Dove Review

The reason that I rated this video appropriate for kids over the age of 12 is because the whole basis of the movie is this man being haunted by his dead wife. Even though this movie was edited for content, the whole essence of the movie could not be taken away and is therefore not appropriate for children under the age of twelve. The video itself was very good. It had a great storyline, and the things that happened to Joe that were supposed to be his wife trying to reach him were well done. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes supernatural thrillers.
