A Taste of Everything

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2005)

This film struck me as.......cruel; with regards to the animal-slaying scenes. Also, the somewhat graphic depiction of rape and brutality amongst people surprised me.
The performances are excellent, with Jude Law playing the handsome farm boy who falls in love with Ada(Kidman) and his obstacles and challenges that he encounters on his way home to her. But I must say, I was highly impressed with Renee Zellweger's contribution to the dramatic scale of the film. She portrays the 'workaholic' role very well and captures the very emotion and feeling that she possesses depending on the situation.
I thought that this was a nice story and however brutal, or sexual it may be, can be enjoyed by quite a range of audiences
