Mostly off notes.
SPOILER
Actually, a pretty trite little story with the only novelty being the affair in question was with an adolescent.
Of course, the "heroine" had to be elevated to saintly status hence her devotion to her Down's Syndrome child and her patience with her somewhat (by American standards) "normally" tart-tongued teen.
This is the kind of film where one keeps hoping something interesting or unexpected would happen... but alas, it is in vain.
God, why didn't Hollywood make this and have a few writers liven it up a bit with Dench whacking Cate in the head and burying her in the yard next to Jennifer and the cat?
It just was all so predictable and dull, dull, dull.
I'd love to set up a meeting with the lesbian-bashing writer of this film and the homosexual glorifying one from "The History Boys."
Maybe not: they're both incapable of much emotion, it seems.
Follow Ups:
I loved this and thought it the best film of 2006 (actually saw it this year). Great story and wonderfully acted. Once again we part company.
I agree--Dame Judi was fabulous in this one.
... as he has certainly seen a different film to the one thought one of the best of last year. The same goes for The History Boys, although I think that is so much about a BRITISH GRAMMAR school that it might not travel well.
during my youth.
The History Boys was drivel, unimaginative. The boys seemed hardly of normal intelligence.
Now, if you wish to see a good film, "Children of Men" certainly is that, and more. Superb, actually.
