Interesting biopic of two musical sisters. I don't follow the world of classical music, so I had never heard of Jackie du Pre. The movie does make you care for her and the waste of her life cut short by MS.
Don't know how much is fact or fiction. Emily Watson is absolutely fantastic. Bravo.
Worthy and cleverly structured biopic of a troubled sole struck down by MS. Emily Watson is excellent as always.
A modest, occasionally gorgeous bio pic with fantastic performances by Emily Watson and Rachel Griffiths. The same story told twice device (pardon the rhyme) cleverly offers insight into Jackie's character. She's really not a self-involved bitch, she's understandably jealous of...( read more)
The acting in this movie is perfect. I can't think of any other two actresses that could have been as effective.
This film is magnificient but quite intriguing. Emily Watson and Rachel Griffiths and even David Morrissey steals the whole show. Very good movie indeed.
The true story of cellist Jacqueline du Pre' and her life-long relationship with her sister Hilary. Good performances by Emily Watson and Rachel Griffiths. Based on the memoir by HIlary. I wasn't so impressed by the story here as I was by the performances.
La fantastica y trajica vida de dos hermanas que comparten 2 grandes amores... el amor de hermana y el amor por la musica, lo que las une y las separa.
I LOVE this movie. It is so well-played & well-observed, often sad, but never melodramatic. Rachel Griffiths & Emily Watson are perfect (in Oscar-nominated roles)...
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Hilary and Jackie" !
