Great story. Great acting . So much unexpressed yearning. SLOW moving - not recommended for TikTok addicts.
Such stoic, meaningful glances. Merchant-Ivory makes a solid hit in their wheelhouse
While it isn't everyones cup of tea, this film beautifully illustrates the tragedy and simplicity of ignorance, devotion, and self awareness
Hate the existencial crisis Im stuck with now, but its scary how a fiction movie remembers so much the times we live by. We work and work.
Not usually my cup of tea, but I found this little Hopkins flick quite charming.
This picture deserve all praises. It's a piece of art, done masterfully by a very cautious and patient director. It's a ten.
Near perfect film alternating 2 time periods in England. Sir Anthony, Emma T, Chris R. (RIP) are magnificent in this complex film.
A very delicate movie which slowly unfolds the utter tragedy of a wasted life.
Very good adaptation of a brilliant book. Quite slow and a lot of things aren't said but nevertheless a rewarding watch.
A really slow burn and Anthony Hopkins does a really good job as always but as I said, movie is slow and ending does not feel that good.
