Movie Reviews

The New York Review of Books - 10/10 by Ian BurumaThe movie looks splendid. Arcadian views and honeyed filters have been largely resisted. But the content, that is to say, the script, has problems.
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Christopher NullA closer look shows all the deep and heartfelt emotion just under the surface of Anthony Hopkins, underrewarded in one of the finest roles of his career.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Desson ThomsonPut Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson and James Fox together and you can expect sterling performances.
Needcoffee.com - 10/10 by Widgett WallsFirst time I saw it, it destroyed me. Subsequent viewings have not improved my condition.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Rita KempleyHopkins and Thompson's downright marvelous duet is supported by a host of deft players, and the detailed re-creation of this small universe is in all ways remarkable.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyA classically polished drama about repressed emotions, self delusion and protracted heartbreak, this Merchant/Ivory movie is one of the most affecting experiences of the year.
LarsenOnFilm - 10/10 by Josh LarsenThe Remains of the Day belongs in the same conversation as Wong Kar-wai’s lush, masterful In the Mood for Love. Both swoon in secret.
TheMovieReport.com - 10/10 by Michael DequinaMoves rather slowly, but the actors and their understated chemistry keep the film riveting, building to a climax that is absolutely heartrending.
Internet Reviews - 9/10 by Steve RhodesIt is an absolute gem of a movie and an absolute must see in my book.
ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliAn engaging and powerful motion picture, every bit the equal of Merchant Ivory's best work, and certainly the most emotionally-wrenching tale they have brought to the screen.
