Set in the South just after the US Civil War, Laurel Sommersby is just managing to work the farm without her husband, believed killed in battle. By all accounts, Jack Sommersby was not a pleasant man, thus when he suddenly returns, Laurel has mixed emotions. It appears that Jack has changed a great deal, leading some people to believe that this is not actually Jack but an imposter. Laurel herself is unsure, but willing to take the man into her home, and perhaps later into her heart.

The script about the change of identities is not one to be swallowed.

A good film, if one that doesn't entirely hit every note it attempts. 'Sommersby' features a strong cast, with Richard Gere leading as Jack ahead of Jodie Foster (Laurel). Those two do have sizeable chemistry together, which makes a lot of the romance work here. James Earl Jones and Frankie Faison also add to the film in their respective roles of Isaacs and Joseph. The premise is no doubt interesting, as it keeps you thinking for the vast majority. It does cover quite a few bases, but I don't think it fleshes everything out perfectly; especially the racism parts. I'm not hating though, as it largely makes for a solid 109 minutes all in all.

***A sensitive and emotional performance***

As has been mentioned by other reviewers, "Sommersby" is a copy of the French movie "Le retour de Martin Guerre" from 1982, starring Gerard Depardieu. While other such copies leave a lot of the original feeling and acting quality behind, More
