Review of Ladies in Lavender (2004) by Jc E — 21 Jul 2010
So, if you?ve seen Judi Dench (Nine) in ?Notes on a Scandal?, you know that she has a knack for being able to come across as creepy ? and cougar-esque. Though she does set her sights on a much younger man ? Daniel Bruhl (Inglorious Basterds) ? it comes across as more for her longing to have what her sister ? Maggie Smith (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) ? had before her husband died.
The film is decidedly British, but still somewhat heartwarming. The real joy of the film is in the beautiful music. Though Bruhl wasn?t actually the one bringing the music to the screen, he skillfully portrayed the beauty of violinist Joshua Bell?s (Music of the Heart) notes.
Honestly, the film is a little dry, but when the music is being played, it?s quite enjoyable.
