      Isabel S Great chic flick for a wine night with the girls. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Lee R I loved it, but then again watching Helen Mirren never gets old. ;) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/20 Full Review Audience Member Well, Helen Mirren is wonderful....but, the movie itself just erupted into very strange territory. I completely did not get the business with the mentally ill vagrant twin... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Love the Performance by Helen Mirren, Great Story. I can watch it over and over! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as the original.

      John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Anne Bancroft plays the pimp-contessa, and Roger Allam is a sort of Williams surrogate, as overblown as the story itself and the soundtrack that tells us how to feel. Jan 30, 2018 Full Review Arthur Lazere culturevulture.net There's no poetry in Sherman's writing and there's more than a little cliched sentimentality. Apr 30, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
