It’s little wonder Orlando Sentinel film critic Roger Moore is syndicated across the country.
The Fla.-based scribe writes spot-on reviews and constantly updates his movie blog with juicy news bites and commentary.
But this particular passage from his “Letters to Juliet” review stopped me cold. Here’s a critic who really knows acting – and can celebrate it in plainspoken fashion:
But [Vanessa] Redgrave, the Oscar-winning pro, keeps trying to show [co-star Amanda Seyfried] how it’s done. Give the camera something to look at every time it’s on you — an expression, some little bit of business. When her character, Claire, folds Sophie (Seyfried) in a motherly embrace, Redgrave twirls Seyfried’s hair as if she were forgetting herself and thinking this was her own daughter.

Shame that the best film actresses are over “a certain age” and thus do not grace the screens often, and that the better ones come from across the pond(s).

Very interesting insight, thanks for posting it. Have you seen this yet, Mr. WWTW? My cousin is trying to force me to see it and I want to know if I should let her.
My review will be up in the next 24 hours … had to post two others first. It’s ok … Vanessa Redgrave steals the movie, and Seyfried has some sparkle to her. But the main romance in the film isn’t exactly Harry Met Sally material.
Thanks! I’ll look forward to the review as well. Another strike against it in my book is Amanda Seyfried. I am a non fan and she is everywhere.
