Movie Reviews of I Capture the Castle
Movie Review: Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this film. The cast is so engaging, particularly Henry Thomas, whom I continue to say is sadly underused in Hollywood. Cassandra's father is a bit of a lout but then Dodie Smith's rendition of him in the novel (of the same name on which the film is based) makes him that way. One really cannot help but feel sorry for the orphaned farmhand boy who is so desperately in love with Cassandra. Of course the entire she loves him/he loves the other girl/who loves someone else setup of the plot makes for a sad and poignant tale, but the actors do not lose themselves in saccharine or trite portrayals of lovesick fools or trounced love interests. Instead they bring a fresh and very welcome ensemble performance which makes "I Capture the Castle" a rare and wonderful movie which all will adore.Movie Review: A beautiful pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most perfect films to come out of Britain in the last few years. Centred by a glowing performance by the lovely Romola Garai, it is packed with wondrous actors perfectly suited to their roles. Advertising and critics would lead you to believe this is a light nostalgic memento of the 30's, but it is a coming of age film so mature it lays disgrace on American versions of this genre. Beautifully shot,marvellously directed, exquisitely designed,and lovingly scored, it is an absolute must see for all who love film, emotional maturity, and the generosity of family...and for those who find pleasure just at looking at physically beautiful people. I am in love with them all.Movie Review: One of the best films ever made - should be on top 100 lists
Summary: 5 Stars
A neglected classic. I watched this for the fifth or sixth time the other night, and realized anew that "I Capture the Castle" is simply one of the finest films ever made. I loved the book, and I can attest that the movie both captures the spirit of the text and brings a further beautiful and intangible something to the tale...Perhaps a more dangerous understanding of how easy it is to be corrupted by money or the desire for love. Certainly the movie offers an additional aching realization of the uncertainty that the young have moving into the moral universe of adults--while still soaring toward a lovely ending. I put it in my top 100 movies of all time.Movie Review: Awesome movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
The acting was simply wonderful, the costumes were wonderful...the entire movie had a rich and decadent feel to it. I loved it! And for the person who complained bitterly about it- maybe you should of watched the movie first. They did not buy the furs, they were given to them from their dead aunt. And they hide from Simon and Neil because the furs were hideous!! I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a movie with brilliant acting, a witty script, and is very pleasing to the eye. The scenes in the moat are amazing.Movie Review: I Capture the Audience
Summary: 5 Stars
After seeing one of my favourite actors was in this movie I decided to read the book. The book is one of my favourites now, with the movie only being shown in one theatre downtown, my best friend and I made the trek taking subway, bus, and walking to find it. When we arrived we sat down in this very rundown theatre, our expectations were not high. The movie amazed us, the plot, dialogue, and actors were all incredible, I advise you see this movie or purchase as soon as you can.
