A nice film. God is it ever nice. Go to Full Review Stephen Amidon Financial Times 03/01/2024
An ode to bohemianism that is so laid back it is practically unconscious. Go to Full Review Geoff Brown The Times (UK) 03/01/2024
Deep Mehta's film goes nowhere much, but it stays gentle, thoughtful and kind. Go to Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) 03/01/2024
There is considerable poignancy in the way Tandy's piercing blue eyes look unflinchingly at us from that handsome, handsome face. Her presence is as strong and as vulnerable as a steel-spring that we know is near uncoiling. Go to Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat 10/11/2005

04/02/2015 A beautiful story of following your passion. See more 05/12/2013 A great lady, the perfect Mother's Day movie. "A quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick is over...." See more 12/27/2012 Why the heck would this movie only get 40% ? I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! If your an aspiring artist/musician, I highly recommend this movie. It really has a lot of heart & it shows the true meaning of having the LOVE for music. There are some great shots of Toronto & Niagra Falls & it's quite witty with a hint of Torontonian sarcasm on the side. If you love a well written movie purely centered on the art of it all, you'll enjoy this. Maybe I should've checked the bottom for reviews. I see, 40% due to lack of viewers. See more 11/12/2011 'What are you waiting for? A quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over!' This is the story of two women, Jessica Tandy (in her final screen appearance as the titular character Camilla) and Bridget Fonda (as Freda, an aspiring musician) who take off to Toronto Canada to hear a Brahms violin concerto while Tandy's son and Fonda's husband are out of town on business. Meanwhile, Camilla's son (Maury Chaykin) becomes convinced his mom has been kidnapped when she orchestrates a reunion with a long-lost lover. Graham Greene makes for a charming car thief and con artist and we have Tandy's real-life husband Hume Cronyn playing an old flame (love that wonderfully tender bed room scene with the two.) A sweet and adorable movie that flows naturally from drama, to adventure, to romance sprinkled with humor and some comedy. See more 07/06/2011 loved this movie. it made me cry. See more 02/14/2011 enjoyable diff kind of chick flick, too bad tandy's last film. See more Read all reviews
