Movie Reviews of September
Movie Review: A good melodrama with beautiful people and settings
Summary: 4 Stars
SEPTEMBER gives us what we want from a Rosamunde Pilcher narrative: a story with enough mystery and intrigue to balance the obvious cliches, a beautiful place full of landed gentry in the English--or in this case, Scottish--countryside, beautiful people from varying walks of life, and the village idiot (in this case, a dotty woman) to help move things along.
While several of the major actors walk through their roles with no strain, little gems of acting appear in the lesser roles, like the dotty woman, and the little boy who plays the son.
Jacqueline Bisset as the "dazzling" Pandora is as gorgeous and as headstrong as the character requires and manages to capture the viewer's heart along with most of the people she meets.
Movie Review: SEPTEMBER SONG
Summary: 4 Stars
Enjoyed the dvd immensely. Stayed pretty close to the original story line I thought. The actors in the various roles played their parts very well. Like all Rosamund Pilcher stories, never want them to end.Movie Review: Interesting enough to make me want to read the book.
Summary: 3 Stars
I have never read the book and happened upon this movie blindly when it was broadcast on cable. The length of the movie (3 hours) intrigued me and I recorded it to watch later. Because I didn't know the movie was based on a book, I was confused for a while as to what the deal with this film was. Was it originally a 2-night miniseries which turned into 3 hours with all the commercials cut out? Had it ever been in theaters? The dialogue seemed very melodramatic, compulsory and not well-fleshed out. Scenes seemed dropped into the movie out of thin air, and I highly suspect reading the book would be necessary to get a better feeling for these characters.
Another review said there was a casting mistake in Michael York. I wouldn't know, he seemed to fit in well to me. I did have a hard time picturing Mariel Hemingway in her role, though, and I could not for the life of me picture her in a marriage with Michael York. Zero chemistry. Likewise when her old boyfriend comes from the United States, I found it really difficult to see how Mariel and he would also have such instant and overwhelming chemistry. The casting was just really weird there.
All in all, I did watch the whole movie, but I wouldn't say it's one for the bookshelf in your home. On the other hand, there was enough there so that I am looking forward to ordering the book. I have no doubt that as other people say, it's a worthy read.
Movie Review: SEPTEMBER by Rosamund Pilcher
Summary: 3 Stars
I really enjoyed this adaptation of Rosamund Pilcher's novel, September.
It was very true to the book, which is unusual these days.
The cast consists of some of Britain's tried and true actors, a factor that made it all the more enjoyable.
Movie Review: A good adaptation of Rosamunde Pilcher book
Summary: 3 Stars
This a long movie but a good adaptation of the Rosamunde Pilcher
book. The countryside is beautiful and the architecture is wonderful.
Watch it in sequels!!!!!!!!
