Vanessa Redgrave
The Pledge (2001)
The White Countess (2005)
[The] soft-glowing facade always seems more real to Ivory than harsh reality...represent[s] our own attempts to stave off reality with the romantic projections of cinema.
Venus (2006)
O'Toole gives a magnificent old-lion performance...in a role that allows both subtlety and theatrical vigor.
Evening (2007)
From its laughably lyrical opening to its bow-tying resolution, Lajos Koltai's
Evening
invites comparisons to
Hallmark Hall of Fame
TV movies.
Atonement (2007)
In the story's nooks and crannies are ideas to savor...the human-condition horrors of unpassable distances of space, time, and reconciliation.
Howards End (1992)
The pairings of Margaret and Henry, and Helen and Leonard, attempt to cross fault lines widened by class, and the tragedy of
Howards End
is in the absolute necessity and absolute inefficacy of doing so at their moment in history.
Cars 2 (2011)
Director John Lasseter pushes the credo 'Story is king,' but the sequel to the 2006 hit
Cars
unwittingly abdicates the throne.
The Whistleblower (2011)
Condurache and Weisz’s 'small corrections' make a big difference in steering the movie right, enough to make
The Whistleblower
a decent entry in the genre of political passion plays.
Hanna (2011)
A flashy but disposable exercise in style over substance...
Unfinished Song (2013)
If you're an inveterate softie looking to hydrate your eyes, yes...can't bear the thought of missing good work by Redgrave and Stamp, maybe...low tolerance for having your intelligence insulted (or dreadful renditions of "Love Shack"), it's a definite no.
Call the Midwife: Season Two (2013)
Foxcatcher (2014)
Quietly but firmly interprets the disturbing story of millionaire John du Pont through bifocal lenses of American dreaming and the sexual fantasies made accessible by wealth.
