  • Must Go!

    Artistically told

    by Usha L Paradise

    While it started off a bit slow, it definitely picks up. One day in the life of this single man - and life keeps messing up his plans. But as he quotes in the movie, "Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him." Solid performances by Colin Firth, Matthew Goode and Julianne Moore - but would have expected no less from them. (By the way, see Goode in "Imagine Me & You" - fantastic!) The stud from Madrid was indeed "smoking hot" - looking forward to seeing him in future films. I cannot end before commenting on the use of color in this film - absolutely perfect! And the audience followed where the director wanted us to go ... taking the cues from the coloration to see the world through his eyes. Really well done.

  • Must Go!

    Visually beautiful, emotionally devastating!

    Colin Firth will make you forever forget him as Mr. Darcy; this is the role of his career. The emotional restraint he employs in portraying the title character makes this movie a journey of discovery; Tom Ford's choices work wonderfully for this story; what isn't shown on the character's faces is revealed through color and light in a novel way that never becomes gimmicky.
