Review of Mrs Brown (1997) by Stephen M — 02 May 2008
I give this movie five stars SOLELY for Judi Dench. Her performance makes the movie a must see.
The thing is: it's very historical and very political and both those things fly, completely, over my head. I'm not the average American, who likes films like SCARY MOVIE and all the other mindless crap that people watch. I like art. I like costume dramas and period pieces; BUT they MUST be accesible and this one just wasn't, to me. It was slow and plodding and the politics of the time were hard for me to keep up with.
BUT.
And this is a BIG but..
I sat through it for her. And I would sit through it again.
She is the greatest actress in the Enlish language.
