A Beautiful Film-Quite enjoyable -I highly recommend it.

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2006)

I was torn in exactly what rating to give this movie. I chose a 7 only because 10 would be perfection & I wouldn't go so far as to say this movie was perfect. I thought the acting was a 9.5 by the two leads (Portman,Weaving). Just listening to the lines delivered by "V" was almost musical it was so beautifully done. Natalie Portman is a delight in anything she is in. She simply raises the bar for the other actresses in her age group. In this film she displays a maturity beyond her years which she has conveyed before (see-"Beautiful Girls"). My only problem with this movie; & it is a minor one, is that it seemed a tad long. Perhaps an editing issue with me. That is what had me wavering between a 7-8. The supporting cast was fine if not outstanding. They were all very adequate in their roles. I really enjoyed the cinematography of this film-just lovely to watch. If you haven't seen this movie yet, I advise stopping at your local rental store and checking it out.
