Review of The Object of Beauty (1991) by Hal Hinson for Washington Post — 15 Dec 2003
Perhaps the shrewdest thing the filmmakers have done is call the film The Object of Beauty instead of A Thing of Beauty, which would make much more sense. By doing so they've removed what they must have known was a far-too-tempting opening for reviewers -- of saying A Thing of Beauty is not a joy forever.
Even with the change, though, the sentiment fits.
