    WOW!
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 August 2006*

From the very first second to the very last i was totally transfixed. The acting in this movie is flawless and brilliant. Nicole does incredibly well as a young naive woman who finds she is uncapable of sticking to the same decision. I found myself rising up as if to defend her in her time of greatest need, when she was being emotionally and physically abused by her husband. As sad as the beginning may be, lots of tears, lots of building emotion and desperation to be loved, the ending made me breath a sigh of relief for Isabelle Archer. She'd found herself trapped and managed to set herself free again.I HAVE to comment on the documentary included. It gives a closer look at the actors and let me tell you, it looked difficult. In preperation for her abusive scenes you see Nicole crying and frustrated and beating herself up. It compelled me almost as much as the film! If you buy this dvd (you must) then make sure to watch this bonus feature, you will realise that the life of an actor is not all it's cracked up to be.Over all, a compelling and beautiful piece of drama.

    “Leave me alone for a year or two!” [Isabel]
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 November 2015*

This 1996 adaptation of the book tells the story of Isabel Archer [Nicole Kidman], an naive young woman of independent means who refuses marriage in order to discover ‘life’ and heads for England in 1872, but is pursued by two suitors. At the base of it all is the human craving for monetary gain –especially marriage for wealth not love, a trend Isabel appears to be trying to flee from but ends up becoming ensnared in when her wealthy uncle dies, leaving her a small fortune. Isabel is a bit of a dreamer and fantasist, soon falling under the influence of her new older and more worldly new ‘friend’ Madame Merle [Barbara Hershey] and the devious rapscallion Gilbert Osmond [John Malkovich]. Can Isabel maintain her independence and free-will or will she capitulate to social norms?With a star studded cast this promises much but at almost 2½ hours in length the slow pace and stage theatre feel is somewhat long [lose a *]. Much of the settings are dark and dingy, adding to the oppressive atmosphere, as even the romantic settings they find themselves in are often miserable, but the 5.1 surround sound is truly inspired in some scenes, especially corridors and cavernous buildings.The single disc opens to a 6 language choice screen, which then goes to main menu offering play, scene selection, onus material [trailer and a documentary], audio languages [4 choices, English, French, castellano and Italian] and subtitle languages [English, deaf and hard of hearing, French, Italian, Castellano, Portuguese and Netherlands].As a miniseries it would work, but not as a long film, requiring a 45 minute trim. If you can stick with it, it is a great story, although quite obvious, and I’d like to give more than *** but found it dragged out and too ‘arty’ in approach.

    Money, true affections, Puritanism and deceit
  

*by L***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 3 January 2015*

Jane Campion transposed one of Henry James' best novels into a formidable masterpiece.She captured luminously the author's main themes: money and love, Puritanism, innocence and survival.A gift of a fortune by an uncle to a young lady turns into a nightmare: money doesn't buy happiness.She becomes the target of those who need the money for their own `standing' and the survival of their offspring (daughter).Another main theme of Henry James is Puritanism: the rejection of the `physical' body. The innocent lady is captured through the discovery of physical contact, here, a French kiss. It overwhelms her completely and she gets entangled in a web of lies, hard plays of domination and subtle intrigues in order to keep her former admirers at bay. She stays blind for the `real' world of true affections until she is confronted with naked and shattering facts.The performance of the cast (Nicole Kidman, John Malkovich, Barbara Hershey and others) is simply sublime. Rarely have difficult expressions in harsh and deeply pure or malignant emotional confrontations so intensely been interpreted.A must see.
