Movie Reviews of Mona Lisa
Movie Review: looked good but I needed subtitles
Summary: 4 Stars
I tried to watch this film twice. I gave up early the first time because I couldn't understand a lot of the dialogue. The Cockney accents did me in. Most of the time the girl spoke is a very low voice and I missed most of what she said.
However it looked so good that I tried again the next evening and got through almost half of it. I could tell that the acting was first rate and I wanted to stick it out. When George, the hero went to sleeze joints and houses of prostitution to find Cathy for his friend, I found it too hard to take. I just wasn't in the mood to see 15 year old girls with bruises on their faces turning tricks for slimy pimps. Too depressing.
Perhaps if I could have understood more of the dialogue I would have made it through that rough spot. Reading the reviews here makes me want to have seen it. I'm not really reviewing the film here. I just wanted to warn others who may have a similar hard time with English films.
I really do wish that English made films supplied subtitles for our American ears.
