The awards speak for themselves

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2011)

This film deserves all the high praise it has been given. Sometimes when this happens the film does not meet expectations but this one truly does.
Colin Firth seems to have the step up from playing the silly guy in films like Mamma Mia and Love Actually to now playing some great parts and getting the recognition he deserves. Everything he does in this film is underplayed and the character beautifully crafted.
Geoffrey Rush as always shines and it is always nice to see Jennifer Ehle on screen.
A remarkable film that I hope continues to do well.
