Kate Winslet looks too intelligent and noble to play a part of an illiterate woman

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2009)

Kate Winslet has been said her acting is excellent since her early days. She must have already deserved an Oscar in "Sense and Sensibility (1995), and she was really conspicuous in that film. So it is now quite natural to get an Oscar this time, even seems too late. But a part of an illiterate woman who has the ominous past, is this the most suitable to her? Again she showed us a best acting, but they should have offered to her further good role where she could exhaust her talent for delicate and fine acting, shouldn't they?
Still in this film, David Cross playing the part of young Michael Berg is eminent and gives us his big presence. He well presented an agony when he sees again the past sweetheart in a court.
The film is dignified and elegant but tragic.
