Stalking Seattle

Sleepless in Seattle (1993)

Directed by Nora Ephron this film stars Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Bill Pullman and Ross Malinger. A woman hears a man talking on the radio about how he struggles to overcome the death of his wife and she becomes obsessed with him.

At the time of release this film was a smash hit but when you break it down the film is not really romantic instead promoting bad ideas of romanticising people you do not know and essentially stalking them. If there was a much darker take on this plot then it might have been an interesting watch but this is disappointing Hollywood tripe. Given that Nora Ephron is one of the top female directors in Hollywood this film is a real let down.
