September 23, 2009I found this film quite dull. It?s an odd mix of Renoir?s La règle du jeu and a P.G. Wodehouse book but without being anywhere near as entertaining as either. The cast is amazing but ultimately wasted. Not one of the late, great Altman?s best.

Works as a murder myster...( read more)

November 3, 2009Extremely large scale even for an Altman film.
With an always moving the camera the upstairs and downstairs transition seamlessly from one another creating a sort of yin and yang of the English upper class. Although one could not survive without the other and perhaps in a larger ...( read more) -

August 6, 2009brilliant movie. there's excellent acting, brilliant script and obviously a fantastic director. The indifference between Kirsten Scott Thomas and Michael Gambon, is a typical way of portraying upper class English couples, but in this case it makes sense. He's a lot older and has ...( read more)

August 6, 2009A very interesting piece of work, created by Robert Altman.
The way this film was shot, makes for a very unique perspective. We are given the opportunity to just sort of float between conversations throughout the house as if we are a ghost. The movie takes place essentially as a...( read more)

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
For the first time in his lengthy career, the director's gone all British -- and, once again, it looks smooth as silk. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The kind of generous, sardonic, deeply layered movie that Altman has made his own. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
