Rating:  - Awkward...
As a fan of a few of the actors involved, the trailer seemed promising, and the idea entertaining enough -- but once I actually started watching, there were points where I literally had to stop and do other things to distract myself from thinking too hard on the awkward presentation.
The only way I can think to describe it is to say that scenes and characters sort of stagger around into each other without a concrete sense of what they should be doing or why they're doing it. Through ... Read More
Rating:  - Lovely setting, Great Idea, But a Bit Weak Nonetheless
Disclaimer: I know most of the people on whom the characters are (loosely) based, and the area of the production (the village of Deia on the island of Mallorca), and the house in which it's set. I even happened to meet the director as they were getting ready to shoot the film, so I should have a natural tendency to praise this piece.
On the flip side, I've been a writer and, as a young pup, a movie theater manager, so I see a lot of film and video, which perhaps makes me a bit more, ... Read More
Rating: - A pleasant movie for a Sunday afternoon
If you are not too busy, and you want something to pass the time, this movie is OK. This is not the type of movie that everyone needs to sit down and watch every second.
The pace is slow, the acting is passable, the story goes nowhere for long stretches. You could cut the grass in the backyard and still not miss anything important.
Rating: - Pretty but not very substantive
I'm not sure what expectations I had for this film when I bought it. I know that the cast, previewed subject matter and film location sounded good. Somehow though, it didn't live up to much of its promise for me. While the cast was filled with some solid professionals, the storyline and the direction--the direction in particular--just didn't cut it. The interaction between characters wasn't credible, probably because of the stilted dialogue. The location of the film - Menorca, I think - was truly ... Read More
Rating:  - A Real Little Gem
This movie is a real, little gem and has become one of my favourites! It is therefore quite disappointing that BBC Films as the producer hasn't been released it in Europe so far.
The story revolves around Larry (Stanley Tucci), a mediocre and chronically unsatisfied musician who has settled in the ex-pat community of a remote island village in the Mediterranean. Despite being tiny, the village is also famous for having been the home of a celebrated European composer. Although Larry initially ... Read More
