Review of Contempt (1963)

You can't fault the performances. They're all top-notch, particularly that of young Mr…

Winslet and Fiennes, two of my most favourite actor's I have to see this…

The Reader is a mixed bag. The first half is practically pornographic and, by the end of the film, feels entirely pointless…

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…

Amazing movie, Kate Winslet was impecable…

Quite a different and interesting approach to a very sensitive subject, despite its many obvious flaws…

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

Psychological morality play, romance and WWII aftermath…
