Movie Reviews of Love Letters
Movie Review: Thank goodness this was available!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie when it premiered on the ABC network, many years ago. I was so so in love with it, instantly. In fact, I actually contacted the television network to find out if there was a way to obtain a copy of it or if they were planning on releasing it for purchase. (at the time, I was a little clueless as to the way production companies work, and movie ownerships, etc) Of course, the response was some sort of "yadda yadda yadda... no". But I had it permenantly stuck in my heart, and every once in a while, I'd take a search on the internet for information about it. Well, I think I actually first saw it on DVD at Blockbuster randomly. It blew my mind! That very day, I went home to look it up for purchase so I could enjoy it on my own any time I wanted; and where else but the wondrous Amazon would do?
The film, itself, is a fantastic story of two friends who battle through the perils of life's struggle and pain to stay close and deal with the romantic feelings they have and either choose to ignore or embrace. I had been aware of Steven Weber from the tv show "Wings", but it was my introduction to Laura Linney. She has since become one of my most favorite actresses, and I truly think she can do anything. As I understand, this is a film adaptation from a stage play. I haven't seen the play, and apparently a lot of people are critical of the movie because of the movie's difference from it. And while you do have a feeling of a made-for-tv movie in the first half and feel a little restrained with location for it, the story can really lift you into a beautiful story if you let it.
I suppose maybe I'm a little predjudiced, due to the female character being an artist, as I am, and overly-relating with the feelings and situations she finds herself in. So, maybe that might not reach everyone on a personal level; but at the very least, Linney did it right! And I admire that.
I think it's at least worth a viewing, if not a purchase, for just about everyone.
