David Kepesh is growing old. He's a professor of literature, a student of American hedonism, and an amateur musician and photographer. When he finds a student attractive, Consuela, a 24-year-old Cuban, he sets out to seduce her. Along the way, he swims in deeper feelings, maybe he's drowning. She presses him to sort out what he wants from her, and a relationship develops. They talk of traveling. He confides in his friend, George, a poet long-married, who advises David to grow up and grow old. She invites him to meet her family. His own son, from a long-ended marriage, confronts him. Is the elegy for lost relationships, lost possibilities, beauty and time passing, or failure of nerve?
Leave your thoughts about Elegy.
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThere's a poetic irony to the idea that it took a female filmmaker to finally do justice to Philip Roth on screen. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxThis melancholy mediation on aging and desire hangs on an exquisite performance from Penelope Cruz. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigTrue to its title, Elegy is a spare, meditative and melancholy film. It is a deeply affecting and profoundly observed saga about love, art, beauty and, especially, mortality. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis is an offering for mature viewers thrown out amidst a sea of summer flotsam. The title, Elegy, is perfect for the material. There is much tragedy and truth in what the makers of this movie have brought to the screen. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenSmart and self-deprecating story about love and mortality: It’s merely a winter's tale told with a summer's palette. |
| Portland OregonianM. E. RussellThe film is exquisite on every level, full of sadness and emotional surprise. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBy the time it's over, Penelope Cruz has slipped away with it, and transformed Kingsley's character in the process. It's nicely done. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsAs an acting showcase that builds to some unexpectedly moving moments, Elegy has much to recommend it. Had Coixet found better ways to connect those moments, she might have REALLY had something to rival what Roth does on the page. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezAs formidable as Kingsley is, Elegy wouldn't work if his object of obsession wasn't worthy of him. |
| TimeRichard SchickelThis is a good, serious and absorbing movie -- especially, perhaps, for a reviewer who is roughly Kepesh's age and, of course, eagerly evading the issues his story forces up. |
