Donald Baines (Kirk Douglas) is a successful Hollywood director nearing death. His life was filled with fame and riches but devoid of love. Haunted by the memory of the son he abandoned, Donald Baines is given the opportunity to see three views of his son's journey, each representing a different period of his son's life.
Donald bears witness to the impact his absence had on his son's life and in his own inability to find love. Ultimately Donald is offered the opportunity to alter the outcome of his son's life in this haunting yet beautiful tale of love and redemption.

Beautifully played by Kirk Douglas, wish we had the foresight to be able to change the outcome sometimes.

Overall good theme and point, March 26, 2013
Overall good theme and point on love and redemption. However the story arc of the son's romance was a little too ridiculous and melodramatic for my taste, and it had its own set of flaws. I would have preferred a different way to tell the same story.

Best it's-never-too-late film! , February 21, 2012
Like another reviewer said, this is the movie that convinced me that Gaiam TV was worth a subscription. Wow! You'll be glued to your screen with this one. Deep, without being mindlessly sentimental -- you don't realize till the end how much its gotten to you. This is the kind of movie that starts off just as a way to burn another 90 minutes that you don't know what to do with, and ends up changing your life.

The Best Movie I've Seen All Year!, September 26, 2011
As a newbie mom, I watch Gaiam TV at crazy hours of the night and early morning. So it takes something really amazing to keep me awake and this film was just that! Illusion truly touches the spirit. Kirk Douglas is mythical. It's all so bitter sweet, inspiring, and filled with love!! This movie selection convinced me to join Gaiam TV!
