I 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.

Extremely 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) -

brilliant 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)

A 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)
Critic Reviews
For the first time in his lengthy career, the director's gone all British -- and, once again, it looks smooth as silk. full review
The kind of generous, sardonic, deeply layered movie that Altman has made his own. full review
Abounds in scenes to savor. It's a feast, and one of Altman's best. full review
