More Than a Romance

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2015)

At the close of WWII, a young nurse tends to a badly-burned plane crash victim (Ralph Fiennes). His past is shown in flashbacks, revealing an involvement in a fateful love affair.
This movie tends to get billed as a great romance, and maybe that is fair. But it also happens to be much more, with Willem Dafoe playing a Canadian spy. Wait, what? So this is a spy thriller, too? Well, not exactly. But Dafoe does the part well, coming off as nasty and jealous. Which, really, suits him rather well. (How would Bruce Willis have done in the same role?)
Ralph Fiennes looks good in the burn makeup... could it be this is what helped him land the role of Voldemort? I would not be the least bit surprised.
