One of the best movie I've ever saw, really great

I came across this movie by accident, late one evening,
when hunting for something worth watching with no violence,
no blood, no hateful actors doing hateful things to each-
other.

I was caught up by -- wait for it -- Campbell Scott's
beauty, with headscarf or hair. How many actors look
attractive with no hair? He didn't look sappy, he looked
intelligent and lost, and quite beautiful. Clear eyes,
clear skin. I've watched it again since, and what I watch
is Scott. I don't think it is one of Julia Roberts' best
movies. Another actress might have been more engaging (no,
not Nicole Kidman) but Julia certainly made an earthy
contrast to Campbell's other-worldliness, and that was what
was needed.

I've not seen him many times (can't remember any titles)
but this will remain a favorite of mine. I like the music,
too.

I became a Campbell Scott fan after watching the movie.
And I've been searching the Net for more of him and his
works. Dying Young is one of those feel good films we
need these days. It has a simple story line with an
eternal message, and the lead actors particularly Mr.
Scott delivered excellently. I just don't understand why
it did not become a commercial success.

Love the movie... Victor is an absolutely amazing, tender
and sweet character. Congratulation to Campbell's talents!!!

I remember the first time I watched this movie sometime in
1992. It kinda' stayed with me since. Campbell Scott has
gorgeous eyes. Great performance. One of those movies that
grab your heart's attention. Not forgetting the little
humour in between. Such sweet love bring you close to home.
I think both Julia and Campbell's characters complement each
other. Mannnn... so sparkling eyes...shall never forget!!
