Maybe I have had very high expectations of this film, since Almodovar is my favourite director, but I felt somewhat confused…

This movie won two Oscars...it must have been a bad year at the movies. The movie never can decide if it wants to be a comedy or a thriller…

Very odd, Al Pacino looks terrible, Robin Williams is completely underused, Hilary Swank isn't in the poster. Some nice photography…

An unjustifiably celebrated movie. Scorsese directs well enough. The actors are good (especially Jodie Foster and Harvey Keitel)…

Review of Contempt (1963)

By Ben H (1,875) on 25 Mar 2013

This is not satire. This is self-indulgence. Godard's 'Contempt' is a lifeless, soulless trudge full of conceit and pseudointellectualism…

It is only, frankly, the strength of Winslet's performance that rises above conventional surroundings and makes The Reader the experience it…

The Reader may have its flaws, but Kate Winslet´s mesmerizing multi layered performance elevates this thought provoking historical drama…

Slow burn of a movie about long ago first love. Just awesome. Kate Winslet deserved her Oscar…

My opinion of Kate Winslet has changed for the better since she took a few more less flattering roles; this type of role suits her a lot better…

I was impressed with this film. It is truly memorable. The story begins with young Michael, a German boy in his teens…

Whether the source material or Hare's tinkering is to blame for the fact that the story keeps the viewer at arm's length, the end result is…

Very touching movie with ultra nuanced Kate Winslet performance as former ex-Nazi…

Winslet deserves an Oscar for her amazing performance…

What a deep movie! The first 30-45 minutes with the affair was the most enjoyable and emotion filled portions of the movie…

You don't have the power to upset me…
