# Dragonfly (2002)

2002 · 104 min · Drama, Science Fiction, Romance · United States


## Synopsis

Dragonfly is a 2002 supernatural drama thriller film directed by Tom Shadyac from a screenplay by Brandon Camp, Mike Thompson, and David Seltzer based on a story by Camp and Thompson. The film was produced by Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum, Mark Johnson, and Shadyac. It stars Kevin Costner as Joe Darrow, a grieving doctor being contacted by his dead wife Emily through his patients' near-death experiences. Dragonfly was released by Universal Pictures on February 22, 2002 in North America and by Spyglass Entertainment in other territories. Upon release, Dragonfly was a critical and commercial failure, with the film only grossing $52.3 million against its $60 million production budget and was universally panned by critics, who described it as "sappy, dull and muddled" and "too melancholic and cliched".
