Movie Reviews

Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonA Month in the Country is a movie of morsel-sized pleasures, yet there's a sizable joy to be had in catching Colin Firth and Kenneth Branagh at the start of their long and impressive careers.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatExplores the suffering and losses of lonely souls.
User Review - 10/10 by Pete HLove the novel and the film doesn't quite match up to it but it's still a masterpiece with Colin Firth and Kenneth Branagh in their first screen roles.
User Review - 10/10 by Emma BPerfection. Although probably lost on anyone not familiar with the Yorkshire Dales. Subtlety never sold many cinema seats...
User Review - 10/10 by Dido CLong my favourite of all time. It's got it all: Colin Firth, whom I have loved devotedly all of my adult life (I saw him on stage once 20 years ago), archaeology, heartwrenching war trauma, painful unspoken love, the English countryside...
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThis movie cracks me up. I don't know whether it's really good or really, really bad. (I'll give it a high rating since I'm the only one!) One thing for sure, it will be the slowest movie you've *ever* seen. Unless you watch tv static. We gotta break you of that. So one way or the other, watch this so that every other slow movie you see will have a frame of reference. If you're given to saying, "Man, that movie's SLOW"... well, you won't be able to any more.
User Review - 10/10 by Caroline BMust be my favourite movie. The introduction of the characters and their damaging past is skilful. The sexual chemistry between Colin Firth and Natasha Richardson and their unrequited attraction - they don't even touch - is breathtaking. The soundtrack is powerful, too.
User Review - 10/10 by Glenda MI saw this movie in New York in 1987. A friend and I sat speechless after, pondering by the impact of the script and the effects of war on the artist, his quest for sanity through his work, the impact of his expertise on the cummunity, his historical discovery through the uncovering of the mural and his relationship with a woman so cut off from intellectual stimulation and erotic outlets.
User Review - 8/10 by Dean KA small film that seems a little contrived these days but it's a good little film that tells a story that is still relevant today.
User Review - 6/10 by Brandon BColin Firth grows a cool mustache and shows a bit more range. He plays a stutterer 23 years before Kings Speech. Foreshadowing?
