Great!

Rating: Null/10 (2 October 2001)

Great movie, great script, great characterisation. Loved the women
who played Mrs van Doren and Mrs Stempel. Rob Morrow has an
unfortunate resemblance to the British finance minister, Gordon
Brown, and shares the same habit of leaving his mouth hanging
open. Morrow did this a few times too often. I've never swooned
over Fiennes, but this movie shows he can act. Another thing that's
overused is the director's trick of shining a light into the main
speaker's eyes so that they glitter. Fiennes spends a lot of time
with his face filling the screen and that light bouncing off his
eyeballs. Perhaps it emphasizes his waspiness as it doesn't work
on dark eyes. xxxxxx
