Hunt's flat delivery is mercilessly cruel to Wilde's delicious epigrams. That sound you hear is Oscar spinning madly in his grave. Read full review

Something is wrong with A Good Woman: The lightning never strikes. It's never quite alive. Read full review
The film is well intentioned and mildly diverting, but in attempting to modernize its story it has lost many of the things that make the original so memorable and not gained much in return. Read full review
