My dislike of him here is probably an "it's just me" problem.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-8983210624673699172016-04-10T08:52:57.558-07:002016-04-10T08:52:57.558-07:00I liked this movie much.

I am a big fan of Firth and it was fun to see Jennifer Ehle as the voice coach´s wife, too, they were a classic couple after all, in Pride & Predjucice in 1995. I didn´t mind Spall as Churchill, I am terribly fond of him, too, I guess... ;-) Viktoria Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608160759512904861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-21946451739579661972016-04-10T06:35:15.981-07:002016-04-10T06:35:15.981-07:00I love it when the cinematography and direction se...I love it when the cinematography and direction serve to deepen the experience.

I don't remember not liking Churchill though, but now I'm curious...<br /><br />I love this observation from the Roger Ebert review: "Here we have long corridors, (...) rooms that seem peculiarly oblong. I suspect he may be evoking the narrow, constricting walls of Albert's throat as he struggles to get words out."Priyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671631876416310280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-63048091397662057352016-04-09T19:11:59.317-07:002016-04-09T19:11:59.317-07:00We rarely see movies in the theater.

But we do end up waiting a long time after the initial release.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-9830620913813676112016-04-09T09:34:15.098-07:002016-04-09T09:34:15.098-07:00I remember when that movie came out, and knew I wa...I remember when that movie came out, and knew I wanted to see it. But of course, it is not yet on network tv, so I'll have to wait a bit longer. I was even more interested in it when I made Kathy's Kings and Queens altered book, but of course, couldn't find where to watch it (SIGH).Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-18235961862278878382016-04-09T08:03:02.017-07:002016-04-09T08:03:02.017-07:00It's a very small part.

But that's just me. I don't recall reading a single review that faulted him.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-79706940381987023782016-04-09T06:12:29.613-07:002016-04-09T06:12:29.613-07:00I remember this movie, and I liked it.
