फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
As noted by other comment writers, the strength of this film is the two fine performances of Helen Hunt and Tom Wilkinson, especially Wilkinson in the role of Tuppy.
The film suffers the usual foibles of a stage adaptation, with some scenes seeming very contrived, as the characters linger at bars and exchange witticisms. On the other hand the writer and director have made a serious effort to address this problem and succeed in parts, (Lady Windermere and Lord Darlington's stroll through the fish sellers is a memorable example).
I am not familiar with the original play and especially towards the end was quite swept along by the narrative tension, which again was a very pleasant surprise.
So in conclusion, a clever little story, some fine performances and a stack of Wilde's incisive aphorisms on the vagaries of the human condition. What's not too like? It deserves to be widely seen, so get out and see it before it's too late!
This film is thoughtfully constructed. It has breathtaking scenery, which makes me wonder how long it took the location scouts to find them. It also has great sets, highly visually appealing and suits the tone and setting of the film.
Helen Hunt's acting is great. She plays a flirtatious woman to a great effect. The plot, though I imagine is not original, has a nice twist at the end that makes my heart warm.
Though set in the 1930's, the film does not seem over the top in trying to create a retro feel, unlike the other Scarlett Johansson recent film The Black Dahlia. it is comfortable to watch and heart warming.
My expectations were a bit low on this because I am still warming up to Helen Hunt. All those years of "Mad About You" never convinced me, but I am starting to have second thoughts. This film is a notch above her usual stuff.
Although I am not familiar with the Oscar Wilde play, I am quite pleased with this adaptation. It is moving, with decent twists and turns. There are also more than a handful of quotable lines, which I presume are Wilde's creations. They come across as timeless.
