Full Plot Details

Kate Croy's (Helena Bonham Carter's) mother was born to wealth and privilege, but she threw it all away to marry Kate's Father (Sir Michael Gambon), a penniless opium addict who admits to having stolen from his wife. After her mother's death, Kate is offered an opportunity to return to the life her mother gave up. There is one condition, however: Kate must sever all of her old ties, not only to her father, but also to her lover, the muck-raking journalist Merton Densher (Linus Roache), whom she has promised marriage. Kate reluctantly agrees to this, and in the meantime becomes friendly with "the world's richest orphan", Milly Theale (Alison Elliott), an American making the Grand Tour. Desperate to see Kate, Merton crashes a party that she and Milly are attending, and Milly is attracted to him. When Kate learns that Milly is dying, she comes up with a plan to have her cake and eat it too, but all does not go as planned.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Edward GuthmannThe difference is that Iain Softley, who directed Wings of the Dove, and his screenwriter Hossein Amini, who wrote the overlooked "Jude," are keen observers who bring a wealth of ambiguity and mystery to the surface -- and release their characters from the cliches that easily could have swallowed them.
USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkInstead of piling on distracting historical details and background, Dove trusts the audience to notice behavioral clues and fill in the blanks.
The New York Review of Books - 9/10 by Louis MenandThe problem is that once you posit an atmosphere of relative lubricity, most of the tension in the story disappears. Who in this movie would care if Kate carried on a torrid affair with Merton Densher?
Kalamazoo Gazette - 9/10 by James Sanfordalmost a sort of turn-of-the-century 'Indecent Proposal'... But though the eloquent screenplay brings to the surface the eroticism James only hinted at, it doesn't neglect the fascinating psychology of the characters...
ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliThe Wings of the Dove is not a happy tale, but it is a vivid and unforgettable one, featuring multi- dimensional characters, beautiful cinematography, impressive set design, and accomplished acting.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertIn The Wings of the Dove, there is a fascination in the way smart people try to figure one another out. The film is acted with great tenderness.
Dallas Observer - 9/10 by Michael SragowSeductive from the start, the film grows more stimulating and involving as it goes along because these three are original people who mate and recombine unpredictably.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Stephen HoldenFew films have explored the human face this searchingly and found such complex psychological topography. That's why The Wings of the Dove succeeds where virtually every other film translation of a James novel has stumbled.
Salon.com - 9/10 by Laura MillerThe rigid distinction usually made between a terrific outfit movie and cinematic art is just another barrier washed away in the overflowing riches of The Wings of the Dove.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranWings of the Dove is richly appointed and beautifully mounted, with lush location shooting in Venice given the place of honor.
