Life after death
That has less to do with the subject matter, which contemplates the possibility of a meaningful existence after death, than it has with the way in which screenwriter Peter Morgan has constructed his story.
Three disparate characters engage in probing the great imponderable in markedly different ways: French TV journalist Marie (Cécile De France) experiences a light at the end of the tunnel while drowning during a tsunami; George Lonegan (Matt Damon) is an American psychic who can communicate with the spirits of the dead; and Jason (Frankie McLaren) is a London boy who desperately wants to talk to his dead twin.
