Movie Reviews of The Shipping News
Movie Review: Very good film!
Summary: 5 Stars
This has got to be one of the best films of the year. I really did like it. The performances, direction, and especially the Icelandic scenery were all perfect! This is a very powerful film about a lonely man who, after years of emotional abuse and low self esteem, learns to be accepted in the world. He also learns about his family history in the process, and befriends others just as lonely as he was. It's a story about the goodness of people, and how certain things go the right way when you least expected them to.
I highly recommend this film!
Movie Review: Beautiful simplicity
Summary: 5 Stars
What a beautiful movie. This is why we love Kevin Spacey. A rich cultural texture hidden inside simple surroundings. Who couldn't fall in love with Julianne Moore in this story?
The climate is severe & and weather may be deadly at times, but I think that these people here are more deeply happy with their lives than most anybody you'll find in New York or London. If I ever find a tiny little town like this to fit in to, I'll never leave.
Movie Review: Marvelous Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a marvelous movie from start to finish! Three brilliant actors Kevin Spacey, Julianne Moore and Judi Dench, help make this a real emotional film. It's a story about "how a broken man" can make his life good. Even with bad starts in life, we all have the the potential to recover. That is the real message of this film. One leaves the showing feeling very optimistic about life. Bravo!Movie Review: Shipping News Review
Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't read the book, you'll miss a lot of detail, but the movie is a great adaptation. Julianne Moore worked hard on the accent and Spacey did a terrific 'doormat', allowing his self-absorbed wife, Petal, walk all over him. The transition in his character is inspiring! Wonderful scenery and human emotion. A 'broken man can heal'...

Movie Review: Perfect for a rainy Sunday Afternoon
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the perfect movie for the vast majority of us who spend our lives in drudgery and looking to the future with no hope. All of the cast give outstanding performances.
If you're looking for a comedy or Action/Adventure, stay away. But if a you have a burning desire for a good, depressing drama, this is the movie for you.
