Brilliant acting, wonderful story of love, relationships and loyalty

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2011)

I adored this film! I was at a theatre with hundreds of people and it was so wonderful that we were all in "synch", what an experience. There is humor, pathos, frustration, love, fear, trepidation it is all there and them some. Colin Firth is just terrific and Geoffrey Rush, well what else can one say but utter perfection as ALWAYS. Helena Bonham Carter shines, when she is away from Tim Burton and his "interesting" choices, she glistens like a diamond on a sea of black velvet. Claire Bloom a legend, is wonderful and Guy Pearce captures Edward's frustration, obvious obsession and anguish in his dilemma with great gusto. This is a must see for film lovers. Tim Hooper has created a masterful work.
