Review of The White Countess (2005) by Denise H — 11 Apr 2010
Natasha Richardson was poignant as a displaced Russian countess trying to support herself, her daughter, and her in-laws in Shanghai, China, in the late 1930's. She lost her position in society, her wealth, in the Bolshevik Revolution and she struggles in a low-class, dead-end job.
This movie could have had more passion and zing but Merchant Ivory films have problems with scripts that get "lost" about 1/2 way through the movie. Not the worst movie I've ever seen but I gave it 3 stars for Richardson's performance.
