Easy Virtue
by Declan Lyman
Easy Virtue is a rip roaring "I'm back" from director Stephan Elliott, the mad genius behind "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". After taking a nine year hiatus from directing after a near fatal skiing accident, Mr Elliott dives head first into Noel Coward and the result is pure cinematic eye and ear candy, and a must see for any true lovers of cinema. And just when you think you've figured out where the film is going...slap...it takes a completely different turn. The cast is perfection, with Kristin Scott Thomas and Colin Firth as standouts. Even Jessica Biel manages to shine (for once) in a role that she had to prove to the director that she could handle it. She has, like Mr Elliott, more than succeeded. Run to see Easy Virtue, you'll be dancing on a cloud all the way home after seeing this dream movie.
