    Great attempt to be claimed an arthouse and a wonderful cast that gives truly fantastic performances, but having a great cast doesn't entail a great movie. I love films that are based entirely on the tragedy that each character brings and it's amazing how wonderfully developed ea...( read more)ch member of the cast is in this film. But I'm not sure it managed to reach somewhere, if it was intending to. It's highly interesting, but was it a drama? A comedy? A melodrama? Had a moral lesson hidden somewhere? Who knows? Because at the end you're still where you began from.

    It's weird and it has uncomfortable scenes (as a surgery in details). A movie with a great cast (Ralph Finnes, Kristin Scott Thomas and Penelope Cruz) but I didn't like it. In fact, I liked only the last 10 minutes. Two stars cause the cast only.

    This one seemed to slip by quietly, but is easily one of the best films I've seen in years. Every character is given thorough development - and you can empathize with each one, which is very interesting as the various conflicts develop. Parallels can be drawn between each chara...( read more)cter - despite social status, morality or personal issues. It shows everyone to be human - through suffering, and glimmers of happiness. Amazingly, with such an ensemble cast, it is impossible to pick out any single performance above the rest. Well directled, with beautiful cinematography (some of the country shots look to be taken straight from a Constable painting), and supportive score which emphasises the emotional undertones, this is a truly compelling and exceptional film.

    Quite a nice movie. Critisizes a certain way of life and in the end an incident that obviously destroys a large part of that way of life seems that it gives a solution to numerous problems!!!
