I Capture the Castle
When her family moves into a glamorous castle in the English  countryside, Cassandra (Romola Garai) imagines great things will happen.  But the decaying castle loses its appeal as her novelist father (Bill  Nighy,Love Actually) develops writer's block and her mother dies  of cancer. From this sad beginning,I Capture the Castleturns into  an utterly engaging coming-of-age story as 17-year-old Cassandra and her  older sister Rose (Rose Byrne) struggle to win the attentions of their   new American landlord (Henry Thomas,E.T. The  Extraterrestrial)--but when everything goes the way Cassandra hopes,  her hopes fall apart. Garai's wonderful performance carries the audience  through bittersweet discoveries about life and adulthood with hope and  yearning. The entire cast---also featuring Tara Fitzgerald (Brassed  Off) and Marc Blucas--is superb.I Capture the Castleis an  absolutely lovely movie, delightful and surprisingly wise.--Bret  Fetzer
