I was thinking about writing a review of the movie we saw over the weekend, Bright Star. But then I just read what N posted about it on his blog and since I think he sums it up really well I’ll just link to his review.
I would recommend seeing it. Watching the story unfold ever so slowly can be a little torturous at times but it is ultimately very rewarding. (Be sure to bring some Kleenex, though.) And the costumes are amazing. In particular Fanny’s first few outfits basically dare the Academy not to give them the Oscar for costume design.
Oooh! I've been wanting to see this movie. So glad to hear it lives up to the hype. Is it still just showing in SLC? So fun that you saw it!! 🙂
I think you'd really like it. We saw it at Jordan Commons but it might be playing somewhere else.
Huh. I like his review – makes me want to go see it. I remember going to see The Piano. An ex thought it'd be a "guy" film because it has Harvey Keitel… I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ex, on the other hand, goodness – remembering the pain on his face still makes me laugh. 🙂
Looks like my kind of movie! I'll have to check it out.
