Review of Colette (2018) by Hydemike — 18 Jan 2019
It's a genuine shame that this film is so dull. The main performances from West and Knightley are so "one-note" that after my tenth yawn I gave up being impressed by the set design and the costumes.
Pity. You would have thought that the intrinsic nature of the off-beat relationship between these two literary figures would make for dynamic cinema but somehow the drama is just hinted at and not exposed in the raw.
What would Burton and Taylor made of this scenario !! But they were legends and ,unfortunately West and Knightley are just actors. I look forward to Westmoreland's next film as I genuinely think he has found a way of curing chronic insomnia.
