great Renée!!!!

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2004)

I believe this is an amazing movie, although not so good as Minghella's masterpiece - THE ENGLISH PATIENT. Jude Law has an astonishing performance, but the real treasure in this film, even more than the story itself, is the one and only Renée Zellweger. There are no words to describe her performance as Ruby Thewes. She brings real life into this film. I think she is the true soul of COLD MOUNTAIN. I really believe she deserved the Oscar she won. I can´t think of nobody who could perform such a though role in such a splendid way. When she is on the screen we completely forget the also great actress Nicole Kidman. If it wasn't for Renée's character this movie would be a bit boring and monotonous. I really think that you should watch this film and see for yourself what I mean.
