thiago S @Thiagostone Mar 9 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Beks C @beks22 Mar 8 One of my favorite of Robert Pattinson's many excellent performances. He manages to be seductive, dangerous and wicked, yet also sympathetic, vulnerable and sometimes gentle and caring. I was completely mesmerized by him in this role. The other actors were also superb, especially Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman and Kristen Scott Thomas. Great writing, beautifully filmed. See more Georgan G @RT98616417 10/21/2024 Story of greed, immorality & jealousy. The main character is "bad", but the rest of the characters who are supposedly of higher morals are just as bad. See more Mercedes/Glenn E @RT79898650 09/08/2024 This is a much better film than the critic/audience scores might suggest. Admittedly, the protagonist was mis-cast - he needed to be more charming to make his seductions and manipulations of the influential and intelligent society women more credible, but he got other aspects of the scoundrel character right. I am reminded of an opera I attended in Seattle where the audience heartily booed the bass because he was the “bad guy,” instead of applauding him for his excellent singing. The film, for the most part, is faithful to the novel and like the novel does not preach or moralize. This can make us somewhat uncomfortable, particularly in view of the ending, but the idea that scoundrels can attain great wealth and power, while leading what seems to be happy yet loveless lives, being at heart, misogynists, although set in 19th century France is not entirely irrelevant to 21st century America. The film is not great, has some limitations that underlying the novel it is based on, but it has pretensions to being a serious art film. It is a period piece, and the costumes, cinematography, and acting are all very good… and art should make us uncomfortable at times. Forget the critics, read the novel, see the film, and form your own opinion. See more John A @ExcessMale 06/25/2024 Criminally and thoughtlessly ejected. Pattinson and his female co-leads fit their respective roles like gloves. The story is obviously doubling as a rapturous character study. See more Steve D @RT35616104 02/03/2024 Trash. Unless you are really attracted to its lead you won't get it at all. See more Read all reviews
