Movie Reviews of The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd
Movie Review: The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd and the talent of Zoe Wanamaker
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderfully portrayed D.H.Lawrence play with some biographical overtones. This play reflects on Lawrence's early insites living in a mining family with a boorish father drinking, fighting and being an overall sad brute making his way through life with an overworked, strong and underloved woman at her witt's end in the relationship. If you've never seen Ms. Zoe Wanamaker perform(Madam Hooch in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), you're in for a treat. She works this character's nuances so precisely and sensually, you'll want to know more. The talented Colin Firth---recently in Mamma Mia--- plays her husband. The actor playing Mr. Blackmore is a wonderful addition to this triad of lives interwoven in this drama. The Rainbow, with Imogen Stubbs, is not my "cup of tea" as stories go but a story of a young woman's sexual realizations. For a truly wonderful Shakesperean performance by Ms Zoe Wanamaker and Ms Stubbs view Othello the BBC production with Zoe as Iago's wife Emma and Imogen as Desdemona. Zoe's performance is fabulous!!!!
