Movie Reviews of Ladies in Lavender
Movie Review: Enjoyable film
Summary: 3 Stars
Wonderful performances by Dame Judy Dench and Maggie Smith. The Cornwall, England country side and the little house makes me wanted to visit the area. The movie description reads beautifully, but was executed in a disappointing fashion. The story fails to grab the viewer and bring depth to the experiences and interactions. I couldn't identify with the violinist as a personality. He projects the image of an overgrown selfish young adult. A start contrast to the sensitive way in which he plays his violin. The story line is tenuous and doesn't satisfy.
Summary of Ladies in Lavender
Two sisters find their lives changed by a young man who has been washed ashore & badly injured. Upon taking him in the two wome discover the mans true origins & his talents as a gifted violinist embarking on a journey they had never imagined for themselves. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 04/24/2007 Starring: Judi Dench Natascha Mcelhone Run time: 104 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Charles DanceA couple of old Dames make the slender story of Ladies in Lavender surprisingly moving. Janet and Ursula (Maggie Smith and Judi Dench), a pair of elderly sisters living on the Cornish coast, discover a young Polish man named Andrea (Daniel Bruhl, Goodbye Lenin!) washed ashore and barely alive. They nurse him back to health and discover that he's a talented violinist--a fact also recognized by a mysterious young woman (Natascha McElhone, The Truman Show), who may woo Andrea away from them. The core of the movie is not its plot but the skillful and delicate play of emotions underlying how the sisters treat Andrea; Ursula, a spinster, finds herself sliding from maternal affection to an embarrassing but irresistible schoolgirl crush. Ladies in Lavender captures something that few contemporary movies bother to consider: Older men and women are as capable of passion and desire as the young, but the young carelessly (and sometimes cruelly) disregard the old. In the hands of Dench (Shakespeare in Love, Iris) and Smith (California Suite, Gosford Park)--as well as David Warner (Time After Time) as a bitter doctor--Ladies in Lavender becomes a bit like a violin concerto itself: Discreet and subtle, but finding in the smallest movements a richness of feeling. --Bret Fetzer
