Brilliant

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2004)

Anthony Minghella's epic tale of love overcoming all obstacles is beautifully captured in this wonderful film. For those interested in stories of love and war, it is definately the film for you, not unlike Gone with the Wind actually! And the acting ain't half bad either. Though Kidman and Law portray the love struck pair wonderfully, the real star of the film is Renee Zellwegger! Her performance as Ruby Thewes, is both hilarious and heart-breaking, a talent that is certainly worthy of an Oscar. All in all, Minghella has given us yet another great film, (in line with his many others The English Patient, Talented Mr Ripley) making it a likely contender for the top gongs at both the BAFTA's and Oscars!
