jadavix Equinox is a movie that begins with an interesting enough idea, but loses it in the second part of the movie and just becomes a boring drudge. Modine, Marisa Tomei, Kevin O'Connor, M. Emmet Walsh and Fred Ward are all top par actors who are up to the challenge. Lara Flynn Boyle, on the other hand, is seriously underwhelming and gives the movie nothing. The movie follows twins who don't know of each other's existence. One is good, the other bad. The good twin is much more arrestingly played by Matthew Modine than the bad one; the script also gives the bad one little of interest to do anyway. I couldn't work out what Lara Flynn Boyle was doing in the movie and the character of the writer also eluded me. The movie didn't make me care enough to find out.

peterjstanley This and Rudolph's "Trouble in Mind" seem, to me, to be companion pieces. They both take place in a future that serves to create a mood around the characters rather than spectacle for the audience. They seem to be almost completely forgotten with no DVDs on the cards, and that is a shame since they are both terrific.Equinox contains great work from Matthew Modine, Lara Flynn Boyle and Kevin J. O'Connor in particular, but this is a quality production from top to bottom. The twin storyline threatens to drag this into the trash but the script dodges a lot of the tiresome clichés that you would expect from reading the synopsis or tag line. Please ignore the poor rating and bad reviews on IMDb. This one has been severely overlooked.

jvidias This is probably the worst movie I ever saw. I lost 1 and a half hour of my precious Sunday night to watch a trail of elements which had either no connection at all between them, or they had a connection was SO loose that you had to imagine them to find out a meaning. Additionally, the atmosphere is completely neutral, the dialogs annoyingly basic, and the end implies that the main character of the movie is of limited intellectual ability. I wonder how can anyone like this thing. OK, we had enough of silly Hollywood blockbusters, but on the other hand, we had enough of wannabes who try to promote their lack of inspiration as innovativeness, destined to be liked only by superior minds. For hell's sake, there must be a million better movies out there and if you want vague scenarios, go watch the "Lost Highway" or the "Space Odyssey". You don't need to go through this movie's mind torture!

PaulLondon One of Alan Rudolph's finest; this is a deliriously atmospheric tale of separated twins, lost love and searching. It is a heady brew propelled by Rudolph's sensitive direction, great performances from Modine and Flynn-Boyle and wonderful cinematography and score. Leisurely paced and dreamy this is not for all tastes but the Romantic vision and pervasive melancholy make it a rewarding piece of cinema.
