September 24, 2009I wasn?t convinced I was going to like it as I wasn?t a great fan of the book but this is a brilliant adaptation from Neil Jordan, who really captures the essence of the characters!

June 27, 2008Terribly bland and brash. The film lacks elegant subtlety so just about every theme is repeated out loud and then again in Fiennes' narration which is simply laughable. Why Jordan continues to cast Stephen Rea is anyones guess. He is either a dull mess, like he is here, or an ove...( read more)

December 3, 2007Disappointin one from Neil Jordan - good cast, decent dialogue but horrible screenplay and annoying music. Even Julianne Moore's tits were not worth it.

July 9, 2009Films such as The End Of The Affair aren't my cup of tea. It was sort of slow, but the acting was good - especially Julianne Moore. The sexual aspects were neat as well.
