Brenda M @manscribe Oct 10, 2024 Another example of how much I love the films that other people really don’t. Beautiful to look at. Amazing music/soundtrack/score. And what I found to be some interesting characters and a plot. Sometimes we do what we do solely because it’s familiar and we haven’t rallied enough courage to do what we need to do. See more

May 27, 2019 I loved it. I am from Uruguay, and so it had an added quality in my case. I loved how perfectly in character actors acted according to their own provenance. Not a shred of foreign accents and modes, everyone sounded authentic. It is not a fast paced movie ( so what?), but it follows its own needed tempo. Perhaps it is unevenly cast. There is no male figure to even represent a supporting role to Anthony Hopkins. The author's role should have been given to someone at least a bit more charismatic. Of the women, Norma Aleandro is a lot of fun, and so truthful for those of us who grew up with such types. Worth watching. See more

Nov 22, 2015 Give them a break regarding the somewhat talky dialogue and bask in the amazing home architecture (particularly Pete and Adam's Bauhaus dream) and the subtle journey undertaken by Charlotte Gainsborough's face as she stiff upper lips it through falling in love. See more

Apr 13, 2014 Insufferable pretension with generally pallid performances in beautiful landscapes. See more

Aug 18, 2013 Yawn. There is a good movie here waiting to be told, but it's not the one that they made. Omar is a horribly stiff and boring protagonist, Caroline is a one-dimensional cardboard miserable ice-queen, Arden is the flighty one who falls in love with anything that says hi, and Deirdre is an obvious mismatched bitch for Omar. This is painfully slow for no reason, from the get-go we know what's going to happen. The real movie waiting to be made is the one about Anthony Hopkins' Adam and his paramour Pete (Hiroyuki Sanada). That is the one I would enjoy. His scenes aren't nearly enough, but Hopkins is the only reason to watch this, and oozes South American relaxation as well as anyone. The 25 year love story between Adam and Pete is the one that interests me. Everyone else I could leave for sure. Nice scenery only takes you so far...but sometimes you're just too lazy to turn it off, and instead you marvel and how it can be bad without being offensive, just a poorly executed idea. See more

Aug 8, 2013 Mostly unremarkably boring. See more
