Movie Reviews of Widows' Peak
Movie Review: Took me by complete surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not usually one for this type of thing, but lately I've been getting into the genre. You know the "Enchanted April," types and other films, even though I'm a guy. Call me crazy, but there's some good stuff here.
These are not "romance" movies as much as just plain good films with some great plot twists. Trouble is, it's hard to go into detail about WHY this film is great without giving away some spoilers. Suffice it to say that all the performances in this are superb---Plowright is at the top of her game, as is Farrow, and the others fit in to a "T."
The photography of this is beautiful, with a detail to colors like you might see in "Girl With a Pearl Earring," or even some "art" films. But the best thing is the plot. Why this wasn't better received when it came out over a decade ago, I do not know. Just a great, great film.
Movie Review: Widows' Peak
Summary: 5 Stars
This is quite an entertaining story. Here is a town that seems to have an unusual number of widows living there. The established heirarchy is very obvious and very much in control, or are they? There are a few characters you find yourself disliking from the very beginning. Joan Plowright does an excellent job as the widow very much in authority over almost everyone else in the town, including the men. Mia Farrow is convincing as a woman living with a tainted past. Natasha Richardson plays the newcomer, a women who intends to get her way, no matter what. I really enjoyed the ending which was quite surprising. It made me want to watch it again. So I did just that and thoroughly enjoyed it.Movie Review: Delightful Irish mystery
Summary: 5 Stars
How nice this is coming on dvd in the states. I have a Region 2
copy and the digital transfer is outstanding. Mia Farrow, Joan
Plowright and Natasha Richardson are delightful in this film of
a small Irish village run by the widows. Richardson is the mysterious newcomer whose arrival opens many cans of worms. I liked all the little bits that are part of the movie like being
suspicious of "foreigners" and the gossipy women. Jim Broadbent
and Adrian Dunbar contribute to the festivities. Definitely for
the ENCHANTED APRIL crowd of which I am a charter member.
Movie Review: Widow's Peak
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent movie - with a strange and bizarre twist! Very funny and as a British film fan, a must have for any collection. Joan Plowright is an amazing actress - right along with Judi Dench. If you like British comedy and wit - this is great! Mia Farrow does a great job with the accent - and i always love to see Natasha Richardson in any movie! They have remarkable performances - you have to stick it out to the very end - for that is when you get the whole story.Movie Review: Outstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars
If there was ever a movie that exposed the hypocrisy and meanness in people, this would be it! Mrs. O'Hara, beautifully played by Mia Farrow, doesn't trust Edwina, the new beauty that's come to town. The two battle it out, with Edwina coming out the loser in the end. Or does she? If I said any more, I'd be spoiling the story. Just watch this movie, and enjoy. Things are never what they seem, and I promise the ending will be worth staying for!
