Very beautiful film, stunningly styled, but the acting of Colin Firth is outstanding. He gives a subtle, muted, but deeply emotional portrayal of the role, that fully justifies his Oscar nomination.

Welcome, elemacd, you're quite a Firth fan! I've seen Truth and Pearl Earring; will have to check out those other titles. Thanks.

Thanks for your review. Can’t wait to see it.
Nic Hoult was also good in ‘Wah Wah’ with Gabriel Byrne.
I have been a long time Firth fan. Check out ‘A Month in the Country’, ‘Another Country’,’Where the Truth Lies’,” Girl with a Pearl Earring’ “Apartment Zero” and Valmont for a few more of his great performances.

Wait, what? You don't know much about Colin Firth?! Julien, you must immediately rent any of the following: 1) Pride & Prejudice BBC miniseries, 2) Love Actually, 3) Bridget Jones's Diary, then get back to me to discuss. I want to see Pippa Lee (I'm a Robin Wright fan) but it hasn't come out in theaters here. There was one screening but it was on the same night as The Road so I chose that. Thank you for your recommendation---I'll look forward to it!

Thanks for this great review, PCN!
As Poncho said, you’re really good at saying just enough and not too much to get us excited without spoiling the whole thing!
I am a total Julianne Moore’s fan (I think she’s my favorite actress ever!) so of course I’ll go and see that one. Moreover, the story sounds interesting and moving, I don’t know enough about that Colin Firth who seems to be a great actor, I like Nicholas Hoult a lot (he’s really good at playing a cruel selfish manipulative teenager in the British TV series “Skins”) and Tom Ford is a talented esthete!

By the way, I just saw “The private lives of Pippa Lee” today, directed by Rebecca Miller and starring Robin Wright Penn (a great part for her at last!), Keanu Reeves, Maria Bello, Monica Bellucci, Alan Arkin, Winona Ryder and… Julianne Moore! If you have a chance to see it, you’ll have a very pleasant moment!

Oh my gosh, Liv is Julianne’s Mini-Me. That little girl is going to be as gorgeous as her mama.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Colin Firth. I was sitting next to a British lady in the theater who was giddy about him. I thought, Dang, she’s come a long way to see this movie!

Thanks, Shell. Nicholas Hoult didn’t just grow up, he completely transformed himself!

I’ve always been envious of Julianne Moore’s looks too…and her daughter who is cute as a button!

Colin Firth has long been a favorite of mine. Surprise, surprise. While they haven’t always been in huge box office films, he’s done such a wide range of roles. His flexibility on stage is just astounding. And when I’m able to watch him in a film and not see Mr. Darcy, you know he has talent! 🙂

Can’t wait to see this film!

Wonderful review as always, PCN! I loved hearing about Colin Firth’s kissing scenes with Julianne Moore. Then again, is there anything not loveable about that man?! As for Nicholas Hoult ~ they really do grow up so fast, don’t they.
