Review of Cavalcade (2005) by Joe L — 20 Apr 2009
The academy really seems to love sweeping stories, spanning large swaths of time, with big, capital m 'messages' about the long journey of life. 'benjamin button' and 'gump' are current examples of this genre, though I doubt they were directly inspired by this film.
I still say the best classic 'war-torn british family drama' is 'mrs. miniver.' 'calvacade' is worth seeing however if you are a fan of brilliant character actress una o'connor, who gets a rare chance here to play an important leading/supporting character rather than the bit parts she is usually relegated to.
