Movie Reviews of All Passion Spent
Movie Review: A beautiful bit of Brit!
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I watched this a couple of nights ago and loved it. We've seen all the BBC Dickens films and virtually anything else we can find in that vein. This one definitely ranks up there with the best. The story is gently acerbic and the character development is truly fine. Wendy Hiller gives a terrific performance, portraying the dowager with a light but very firm hand on the helm of her life. once her public/familial duty is done, her duty is to herself, despite the arrogance and assumptions of her children and their spouses. Rent this when life has worn you down and you need a respite.Movie Review: treasurable
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a pitch-perfect dramatisation of a quiet, almost contemplative story that, nevertheless, asks profound questions of life: What is substance, what vanity? How much freedom do duty and love permit any person? The writing is wonderful, the staging unfussy and utterly convincing, and the cast - led by the superb Wendy Hiller - completely winning. This three-part adaptation of the Vita Sackville-West novel, made in 1986, looks and sounds as fresh as new paint and is a treasurable addition to any collection.Movie Review: Worthwhile
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this story absolutely superb: cast, locations and content were authentically presented; the acting was flawless. To those of us who especially appreciate that era of history, it was also instsructive. I am sure I will view it another 6 times!Movie Review: All Passion Spent

Summary: 5 Stars
Perfect script, perfect cast, you'll get up from the couch smiling and that feeling will stay with you for a long time. Great little movie and Wendy Hiller (everyone in it, really) is perfect.
