Anthony Minghella's art is the key with Renee Zellweger the "winner" of an all star cast

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2003)

It is hard for me to say much bad about Anthony Minghella's work. I think The English Patient was among the best movies ever made. Cold Mountain is not that good but it is very good in its own right.
Nicole Kidman is really growing as an actor and her work grows proportionally. But the real gem in this film is Renee Zellweger. She is a lock for a lot of awards for this role.
The film is beautiful and sweeping in scope and short a few nit-picking things about a lot of sing song sessions going on when danger lurked around every corner from the "home guard"...but as I say,... that is splitting hairs. This is a wonderful movie. Go see it!
