Movie Reviews of Wit
Movie Review: Heartbreaking -- just a wonderful film
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd read the play Wit several times before I bought the DVD. I shouldn't have waited so long. Emma Thompson makes the character come alive and hits all the wonderful ironic notes -- her patient history interview with the young doctor who was once her student is worth the price all by itself. Also, her wry observation that she expects to be asked the standard hospital question: "How are you feeling?" after she's dead is actually quite funny.
That said, this is a hard film to watch, particularly if you've ever had a loved one who went through anything similar. It is heart-breaking, but well worth the tears.
Movie Review: A must-see for anyone who will someday die
Summary: 5 Stars
Intense yet witty. Converted from the stage production by HBO. Don't expect action but be prepared to think and feel. Everyone can use a little introspection on occasion.May be uncomfortable for some to view, but that should not deter everyone from making the effort. We're all going to die. Often, it's not pretty. Cancer is a cruel disease. We can learn from death as well as life, however.
Would be a great movie to watch as a family or with a discussion group. Lots of food for thought and discussion. It moved me to both tears and laughter. The humor will be especially appreciated by those who love words.
Movie Review: one of the best of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
Wit, one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Emma's performance profoundly effected me.
I watch the movie and though I am sad .I have such a feeling of life and that we should live every moment.....
the movie pulls you in and stays with you forever.
every aspect of this movie is to be savored.
allow yourself to feel it...Yes it's intense, but also humerous
and touching in a real way.You might ponder the question why does fate treat some harsh and pass over others?
I would Love to see this movie shown in High School.
I highly recomened this powerful movie..
Movie Review: Poetry, Death, and Emma Thompson in One of the Finest Acting Performances Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
It's no secret that WIT deals with a distinguished academic's travails with ovarian cancer, so the storyline isn't the "thing." Rather, it's the journey that concerns us here, and Emma Thompson gives puts herself and us through a performance that is at once masterful and grueling.
Her ability to transform words on a page to multi-layered meanings with a change in tone or facial expression never ceases to marvel. This is a one-woman tour de force... While it is "witty," what this former off-Broadway play really is is poignant. If you're up for it, take it in; impressed you will be.
Movie Review: wit
Summary: 5 Stars
As a nurse in the health care profession, the messege i recieved from this movie was shocking and life changing. when ever i have a bad month or rocky patch at work i watch this movie. the perspective provided by the excellet movie is touching. it truly gave me a deeper compassion for the chronically ill patient and how hard it must be for them to deal with their situation. when you watch this movie have a box a tissues and i will not sugar coat it, the things you will see will break your heart, as it did mine. so be prepared, for a movie that you will never see anything else like it.
