Tim S @BallroomDancingCharmSchool 5d This Very Precious movie has a Great Cast and is at the top of my list of great movies. I saw it about 10 years ago and finally bought the DVD so I could, - and Will watch it again...and again!

Vielleicht war der Film einfach seiner Zeit voraus und damals konnten gerade Kritiker noch nicht so gut mit verschiedenen Zeitsträngen umgehen. Wir erleben hier einen ganz zarten, geradezu fragilen Robert Carlyle als Frank Keane und es ist wirklich beeindruckend wie sehr ich ihm den schüchternen Bakerman abnehme. Es ist ein süßer langsamer Film der einem Hilft runterkommen wenn man von der Welt überreizt ist See more ka g @RT55275240 Feb 18 It's hard to talk about this movie without giving away the surprising charm, sentimentality and profoundness that it delivers. To me, this film lives in the same category you might put CINEMA PARADISO in: A tale about how something (a dance and charm school) influenced the people it touched. Having never heard anything about this film nor really knowing what it was about - I was quickly captivated by the characters and their journeys. This script was terrific and constantly kept me guessing as to where it was going or what's going to happen next. This felt like what independent movies are for: exploring ideas and emotions and how these affect the human condition. In that regard, it was a near perfect film I didn't really care for the lead actor but found the cast around him to be sensational. Marisa Tomei, Donny Walburg, and Steenburgen really stole the show. John Goodman should have gotten an Oscar for his work here. It's not a film for everyone, but I appreciated very much.

And how in a room full of people there are endless opportunities to embrace life again. See more jennifer r @RT55573924 09/03/2024 What you have to understand is it’s supposed to be corny. The whole point is to throw yourself into it anyway. And much like those boys back in 1962, you might just find out you’re enjoying yourself.

Reading the critics, I can tell that one of the reasons there are so few good movies is because there is so much bad taste in those who write reviews. Another is there is too much money thrown at movies. See more Read all reviews
