Movie Reviews of Hilary & Jackie
Movie Review: this movie is all wrong
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm sorry to all of you people who feel like this is a good movie. It's not. This is an absolutely terrible movie. I'm a cellist myself studying at a conservatory of music and Jackie is my cello idol. This movie portrays her terribly and Emily Watson, who is attempting to imitate Jackie playing, does a terrible job. If you really want to see what Jacquelin du Pre was like, then go buy an actual biographical video of her that they have here at amazon.com or you can go to sharmusic.com. I'm sorry, but this was an absolutely terrible movie and any cellist that knows anything about Jackie will agree.Movie Review: Only one thing wrong with this movie..
Summary: 1 Stars
They should have found someone else to play Jacqueline Du pre. Emily Watson does not have the serious, pensive and that emotional energy that jacqueline had. I refuse to see any movie that Emily Watson is in from now on.Must see "Remembering Jacqueline Du Pre (1994)" directed by Christopher Nupen. It's on VHS. I'ts a documentary on J. Du Pre and you can see the real Jackie vs. E. Watson's portrayal. Day and night..
It's a shame because all the other actors do a phenomenal job.
But buy the soundtrack, great music!
Movie Review: HORRENDOUS Film
Summary: 1 Stars
Whether I knew who Jackie was or not before hand, this hokey, poorly made soap opera would have made me never want to KNOW who she was. The acting is mediocre, the writing is the worst, dialog terrible and directing barely that of a Lifetime Network Movie. Watching this was as much of as having rectal surgery by a paraplegic, no, actually that would be MORE fun.
