Reviewed on 2008-07-23 Great movie The movie was beautifully done - great cast and direction.... The story is compelling - whethere you agree or disagree with the decisions the charactors made under the circumstances. It is certainly a movie worth of your time.

Reviewed on 2008-05-03 Good story but full frontal nudity spoiled it! I have to say I enjoyed this movie as it showed how far a man would go for the woman he loved, but the full frontal nude scene spoiled it. Kristen Scott Thomas's character could have pull a towel around herself as she stepped out of the bath, but I guess morals went out the window as they were having an affair and she was a married woman, which I thought was wrong. She should have left her husband if she wasn't happy before having an affair. Ralph Fiennes played the part of the Count well, I preferred the parts where the nurse was taking care of him and it showed how caring a nurse is to her patient. I would recommend this movie, but fast forward the nude scenes.

Reviewed on 2008-04-14 Boring and too long I actually saw this movie twice. The first time because it starred Colin Firth (well that was a disappointingly small role) and the second time because my ex-boyfriend wanted to see it with me. He loved it! No wonder our relationship didn't last :-( The movie has some stunning scenery, but it's too long, the love story dragged on and on and why the character of Kristin Scott Thomas (not one of my favourite actresses anyway) liked the Fiennes character over her loving husband Firth (better looking than Fiennes any time of the day) has always eluded me. I think it's supposed to be a romantic movie, but that was also lost upon me. I have some four hundred or more DVD's, but this movie is not one I own.

Reviewed on 2008-04-01 should have listened to quote Hank Hill"You dont have to be english to watch this film but you sure have to be patient" Wish Id listened before I wasted 3 hours of my life on this boring movie!

Reviewed on 2008-03-19 Boring!!!!!!!! I actually watched this film twice because the reviews were good and I thought I must have missed something. The first time I had trouble paying attention it was so dull. The second time I had trouble staying awake. I have seen it twice and don't even recall what it was about. Why do people like this film?
