Editorial Reviews:
Anyone having high hopes for the artistic collaboration between Robin Williams and director Bill Forsyth (who made Local Hero, perhaps the most enjoyable film of the 1980s) probably left this movie disappointed. Forsyth is attempting nothing less than The Ages of Man, using Williams as his representative of humanity through history. Cast as a kind of Everyman, Williams plays a guy who can't seem to get his family situation straightened out to his satisfaction, whether he's trying to protect his family from Vikings in prehistoric times, being a nomad in the Middle Ages, or showing up as an unhappy divorced guy in contemporary times who's trying to reconnect with his teenage daughter. It's worth a look, if only for the opportunity to see how a big idea can go decidedly wrong and to observe what happens when a director gets a hold of an unworkable concept that he believes in completely. Williams wears a pained expression through most of the film. --Marshall Fine

Summary: Why isn't this on DVD!?
Comment: I saw this on Cinemax a few years ago and loved it. Incredibly artistic, which I wasn't expecting, but was very delighted to find. I want this movie, but I no longer have a VCR! Put it on DVD!

Summary: Not bad, just not actively good
Comment: I've watched this movie twice and I can say I do enjoy it. It is a very interesting but somewhat slow. You'll need to watch it more than once, and you'll need to do it when you won't be interrupted over and over. It's one of those movies you actually have to "watch" to understand.

Summary: under rated
Comment: "Being Human" is one of those movies you either hate or you love. For some it is slow and the historical vignettes uninteresting. I, personally, find the storytelling thread does an excellent job of interconnecting the five time periods covered (pre-history, ancient Rome, Middle Ages, Age of Discovery and modern America). Robin Williams is a good actor who brings depth to each man he plays Frankly I would have preferred more time in Ancient Rome and seeing the Middle Ages man return to his family but those aren't a slam on the movie. No, there are no heroic battles or monsters; this is the story of the average guy who is actually what most students in history course would love to learn more about.
