Movie Reviews of Oscar & Lucinda
Movie Review: The book is better.
Summary: 1 Stars
This film is based on one of my favourite books, so I was really looking forward to seeing it. Despite great performances by Blanchett and Fienes, it just doesn't hold together well. Too much of what is in the book has been left out and that which is there lacks weight. The characters in the book are so much more complex and endearing. The book was very moving and engaging while the movie is not. There is also an ending tacked on that doesn't exist in the book, and that always annoys me. I was very disappointed. I think had I not read the book, I'd have stopped watching the movie about 1/3 into it.Movie Review: I Hate This Movie
Summary: 1 Stars
Look, if you really want to see an amazing piece of Fiennes work from this period of his career, go English Patient, yes I know it's cliché and maybe you've already scene it but it's so damned good. See it again.
