| User ReviewDan APure Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson. Very poignant and very enjoyable. |
| User ReviewAndrea CExcellent, great performances, narratives and camera shots. |
| User ReviewItai BA poem played into real life in this 50 minute tour de force piece of tv film. |
| User ReviewJosh CEven if you aren't into artsy movies, as we listen to the poetic internal monologue of Alan Rickman's character, it is hard not to be compelled by his voice alone. For those who appreciate poetry, it is unique, emotive, and even a little funny in places, acted out by two brilliant actors we know and love. |
| User ReviewAnnie CChristopher Reid's poem is captured wonderfully in this hour long installment. |
| User ReviewMark AThis one was full of surprises, but sadly, few of them were good ones. At least at 50 minutes duration, the pain did not last long, but even so, it seemed longer than its running length. A BBC TV production means of course impeccable production values and I am normally a huge fan of Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson. It was the story and the presentation that were lacking. Most of the film consisted of a voice over narration of what was going though his mind through the course of the encounter. Very little action can still be engrossing if the conversation sparkles. The description of this calls it a poetic monologue. I call it pretentious prattle. I will give it three stars, but only because of Emma. Without her it would have been an unmitigated disaster. |
| User ReviewJoseph HAlan Rickman does "morose" better than almost any other actor on stage or screen alive today. Ditto for Emma Thompson and "dignified." But this was not a song, it was a dirge ... I had to turn it off fifteen minutes into it. I couldn't understand why Emma Thompson didn't excuse herself and slip out the bathroom window, if necessary, to get away from him. Mercifully, I had an easier option. *click.* |
