Some parts of this movie were very engaging, but it just took too long to get anywhere interesting. The concept was good and the acting okay, but it needed some real "oomph" instead of just droning on.

I'd like to be able to tell you ALL about this movie but can't. Not that I didn't give it all of my undivided attention but wasn't able to watch past the 1hour 14 minute mark, as you see one of the selfish phillistines. who checked it out…

Judy Dench, Cate Blanchett and Bill Nightly are fantastic actors. Very interesting movie, Judy Dench's performance evokes a lot of emotions, none of them very nice. This is not just a story of a very dysfunctional family but of evil where…

I actually liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would.
Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett were perfectly cast for these roles. Takes a topic that may come across as cliche and shallow and turns it into a rather interesting journey,…

The subject matter is enough to say this isa terrible movie. However, the acting is great, the story is well written and the vocabulary is excellent (lots of thought put into it). Like someone else said, I can’t recommend this movie but…

This is a very suspenseful character study. It's not perfect, but the acting is superb and story development (and character development for that matter) is gripping. This is very close to being a must see, and although it could have been a…

I enjoy both Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench and had wanted to see this movie for quite a while. I was intrigued with how the film would handle the sticky situation of a teacher-pupil affair.
All in all, I found the movie rather…

Thanks to strong performances by the two leads, I enjoyed this film's portrayal of the relationship between two not-very-stable female high-school teachers--one of whom ends up having an affair with a 15-year-old student. But I wouldn't…
