A solid, well-written movie. But 13 Oscar nominations?

Rating: Null/10 (4 March 1999)

I thought this movie was a solid piece of work. Interesting, original, well-written, very good acting, plus extras like little nuances that you had to really watch to catch, i.e., where Shakespeare got some of his ideas for dialog. I particularly enjoyed seeing a movie where no was shot or had their car got blown up purely for the entertainment, which of late has been substituted for actual dialog in movies. But did I think it was 13 Oscar nominations good? No. I mean, Judi Dench was on screen for a MAX of 5 minutes.
