Full Plot Details

Maurice Russell, once a great actor, is now living in London in the twilight of his life. Those of his generation remember him fondly, while those in the younger generations have no idea who he is. He spends most of his time hanging out with his friends Ian, also an actor, and Donald, or visiting with his wife Valerie for who he has great affection but with who he no longer lives. His acting career is virtually over, he only taking roles on the odd occasion when he needs the money. Ian has decided to invite his young great-niece Jessie from the provinces to come and stay with him, basically to act as his caregiver in case he falls ill, but also to be his companion. He envisions listening to Bach with her and her cooking him food to which he is accustomed. Jessie's stay is nothing as he envisions. She doesn't know how to cook, she drinks all his alcohol, and she has unrealistic visions of what she will accomplish in her life. Maurice, however, sees in Jessie, a person who can help him recapture part of his youth and vigor, including more fully realizing his thoughts of sex. Maurice calls her Venus, after one of his favorite paintings. As Maurice and Jessie spend more time together, they use each other to get what they want. But it isn't until Maurice approaches the end of his life will either understand if what they have is true friendship.

Movie Reviews

New York Post - 10/10 by Kyle SmithA sublime meditation that is one of this year's wisest, warmest and funniest films.
Greenwich Village Gazette - 10/10 by Eric LurioThe performers wrestle the script to the ground! O'Toole's best in years.
Cinema em Cena - 10/10 by Pablo VillaçaVênus se salva do fracasso graças ao veterano Peter O'Toole, que oferece uma performance digna do homem responsável por encarnar figuras inesquecíveis como T.E. Lawrence, o Rei Henry II e mesmo o absurdo Eli Cross.
Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Michael SragowVenus is a magnificent tribute to actors by filmmakers who know they are the essential human material of theater and the screen.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranTold with wit, genuine poignancy and all kinds of humor, Venus charts the unlikely relationship between a man in his 70s and a young woman more than half a century his junior.
The Film Yap - 10/10 by Nick RogersIt's a pleasure to have Peter O'Toole's company here - likely for the last time in a role of such magnitude & majesty, bangs still swept back in boyish wisps and his sky-blue eyes vibrant and hungry. A loving, lyrical, eloquent sonnet to elderly sunsets.
Arizona Daily Star - 10/10 by Phil VillarrealIn her own way, Whittaker is as strong as O'Toole, and the chemistry they develop forges a heartbreaking bond.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversO'Toole gives a staggering performance -- fearless, defiantly untamed and in its own way a work of art.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerThe screenplay is by Hanif Kureishi, who wrote "The Mother" for Michell and also scripted the classic "My Beautiful Laundrette." He has a feeling for outsiders.
Lessons of Darkness - 9/10 by Nick SchagerIf Roger Michell's film never quite musters the energy to be more than a placid hybrid of Nobody's Fool and Lolita, it nonetheless provides a satisfactory showcase for Peter O'Toole.
