Full Plot Details

This love story has Kitty (Naomi Watts) meeting young, intelligent, shy and somewhat dull Dr. Walter Fane (Edward Norton), whose forte is the study of infectious diseases, and the convenient marriage to which she finds herself committed. It is in this web of intrigue that they head for China, only after Walter discovers Kitty's infidelity with the dashing and witty diplomat Charlie Townsend (Liev Schreiber). So much as to hide her from herself and to help thwart a cholera outbreak, this is a marriage more than on the rocks. This is a cold, indifferent, and loveless partnership in a vast unknown and deadly environment that will test both of these flightless lovebirds and with the hardships and tolerances more than any had ever anticipated. A visual delight amidst the pain and suffering of dying people and failing marriage. Will a cure be found for both, before it's too late?

Movie Reviews

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle - 10/10 by Jack GarnerFor filmgoers who long for the days when adventurous filmmakers such as David Lean placed fascinating, flawed characters in sweeping, historic settings, The Painted Veil is a most welcome motion picture.
Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA beautiful and very believable story, set in China in the 1920s, about the personal transformation of a married couple.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleThe Painted Veil does what a romantic drama needs to do. It testifies to love as the great educator.
Salt Lake Tribune - 10/10 by Sean P. MeansA case of filmmakers being too enamored of classic source material to pump enough blood to bring a film version to life.
Detroit Free Press - 10/10 by Terry LawsonThis version has that element the previous films lacked: a true understanding of Maugham's belief that true love and purpose are inseparable.
Sun Publications (Chicago, IL) - 9/10 by Josh LarsenWatts and Norton ... emphasize the loaded gestures and veiled asides that govern relationships in real life, as opposed to the melodramatic tirades that dominate the movies.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Moira MacDonaldA thoughtful and beautifully mounted story for grown-ups, The Painted Veil brings the quiet pleasures of a fine novel, showing us that the world's complicated geography is no match for the terrain of the human heart.
Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Richard NilsenAll this comes from a novel by Somerset Maugham, although the movie leaves out most of the complexities of the book to focus on the single-minded venom of the marriage.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordThe film's visual splendor is about more than scenery as Dryburgh attains first character definition, then emotional wallop with...closeups of Walter's bare foot.
Monsters and Critics - 9/10 by Ron WilkinsonA period piece with an edge, combining lush photography with an engaging script, strong acting and on-screen chemistry between Norton and Watts.
