Movie Reviews of Aristocrats
Movie Review: Wonderful Movie, but a bit long
Summary: 4 Stars
I just watched this movie. I thought it had a great beginning and was completely enthralled with it....but then then movie just kept going and going. I particularly did not care for the last installment. I think that could have been summed at the end of the fifth installment with the narrator just telling people what happened. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. The costumes are WONDERFUL, and I have to say that the did the makeup really well. The sisters really did seem to age even though played by the same characters (at least until the last installment). If you like period pieces, this is a must see. It is so much better than the Buccaneers.Movie Review: The Aristocrats
Summary: 4 Stars
The relationships of the sisters were quite strong and they all loved each other even though their lives was different in many ways. I thought it was quite an entertaining movie and I do enjoy a good story. However, the story was too short, wished each episode was longer, at least two hours and showed more of the family relationships of each of the sisters.Movie Review: Great story and visually stunning
Summary: 4 Stars
Not too much to say, except it was absolutely beautiful with the costumes and decorating looking so authentic. Storyline was pretty good, but I was honestly distracted by all the beautiful furnishings and costumes! Just gorgeous, will probably rewatch this set in 6 months time.Movie Review: I love BBC period pieces
Summary: 4 Stars
Very Good, done well, love the costumes. Been watching BBC series lately, USA TV regular programming does not show mini series anymore, BBCA does not air BBC mini series in my area, nor PBSMovie Review: Intriguing...Yet utlimately Dull
Summary: 3 Stars
I thoroughly enjoy a good Period epic- and at the beginning I was very much intrigued by the premise of these Aristocratic sisters, yet the actors themselves quickly began to bore me. The dialogue became a bit tired- and most importantly you don't really develop much of a sense of connection with the main character Emily- She is narrating- and you do get to find out more of what she thinks and feels- but I was still bored with her. I struggled to care about what was going to happen next- it always seemed as if the sisters and their husbands were always trying to out do each other- maybe with the exception of Louisa and her husband. I know that is supposed to be the creator of the tension- but it ends up just becoming tedious. Also I felt that casting Alun Armstrong as Mr.Fox was totally odd. It's hard to imagine that a woman like Caroline would be taken with interest when seeing him the first time. I'm sorry- couldn't they have cast a better looking actor?? It does explain the way his and Caroline's children turn out. They are even more hideous than he is- although I don't know whether the casting director had that direct intent when he cast them as their children. But- apart from that qualm about casting-it really could have been a good film- it had beautiful costumes and settings and an air of authenticity- yet it never really picks up. It really comes back to the lack of good characters. They are just too one dimensional to really care about them. I agree with another of the reviewers that it is worth renting- but it is one of those series that I really don't care to ever see again now that I have seen it once.
