Goose R. @rodrigug Jun 7, 2026 Reincarnation straight to TV movie. Based on the book and real life story of Jenny Cole who remembers his previous life. Pretty cool story if you believe in reincarnation (like I do). Not really a spoiler but the highlight of the movie for me was little boy Sonny, sets free a rabbit , choosing not to kill it just like any normal child would do. Proving that compassion is natural and we’re indoctrinated to ignore animal suffering 🍿🍿🍿🍿/5 on Tubi See more julie w @Jules6819 Aug 29, 2025 Fascinating movie. It takes a lot to make me cry. But this movie was so emotional. See more Sarah H @RT32791269 Jul 5, 2025 Definitely a tear jerker, I throughly enjoyed it. It is over 25 years old See more James J @RT06963526 Dec 8, 2024 Very few movies, none that I know of, anyhow, treat reincarnation respectfully. If it is part of your belief system or you are just interested, you will love this movie. It is 24 years old and looks it, but the acting and cinematography are pretty good and the tearful reunion scenes would make Steven Spielberg proud. And oh yes, it is a true experience, of the woman portrayed. See more Alexandra H @RT99463632 Oct 12, 2023 I loved this movie. It's totally engaging and tells a true, very spiritual story.
