Mesmerising...

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2007)

I can't praise this film highly enough. Sufficient to say it is cinema at it's very best. Beautifully directed, filmed and acted, in my book it qualifies as a classic already. Keira Knightly, although stunningly beautiful...with the perfect delicate look for the era the film was set in, has failed to impress me with her acting in previous films, but here she captures the essence of Cecilia beautifully. As for James McAvoy - what a star this young Scot is going to turn out to be! His facial expressions alone spoke volumes - and with those beautiful eyes how could any woman fail to fall in love with the lovely Robbie? A subtle yet truly great performance from him - and the rest of the cast were excellent.
If this film doesn't get recognizxed as the Best Picture of the year when the awards ceremonies come around, then I for one will be sorely disappointed.
