Review of Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) by Robert D — 27 Aug 2009

This is an interesting look at 17th century Holland and the process that resulted in some of the art masterpieces that were created there. Colin Firth plays the same gloomy character he plays in most of his films and Hollywood magic somehow makes Scarlet Johansson look plain.

If you have heard of the BBC series "Upstairs, Downstairs" and liked it, you'll probably like this movie. If not, you probably won't.
