Movie Reviews of My House in Umbria
Movie Review: Warms My Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. Have seen it several times. It weaves the unlikely lives of a few colorful characters, with Maggie Smith at the helm, into an uncommon story filled with good outcomes steming from a tragic accident. We want to stay and be a guest at her wonderful house. The scenery is breathtaking, the settings rich and full of emotion.
Summary of My House in Umbria
Based on the acclaimed novel by William Trevor, My House in Umbria is a charming, evocative drama about a group of travelers in Italy who find solace and friendship after being thrown together by tragedy.Falling neatly into the Enchanted April and Under the Tuscan Sun category, the made-for-HBO My House in Umbria boasts lovely Italian vistas and comforting Englishness. But it begins with a note of violence: on a train rolling through the sunny countryside, a terrorist bomb detonates, killing a handful of passengers. The strangers that survive recuperate at the villa of an eccentric but kindly romance novelist, also a survivor of the blast. She's played by Maggie Smith, who bustles through the role with a pleasing mix of gin and daffodils. Chris Cooper is an uptight American who comes to the villa to pick up his orphaned niece and bristles at the bohemian atmosphere. Director Richard Loncraine maintains the melancholy mood amidst the sun-dappled gardens of Umbria, but Smith really holds the film together with her authority and slightly tipsy humor. --Robert Horton
