ReviewsEntertainment Weekly - "...Ravishing...[and] impassioned..." -- Rating: B+, Sight and Sound - ...[A] skillful, graceful movie..., Movieline - ...[A] dazzling stylistic achievement....Like James's novel, the film honors the mysterious process by which life is at once extinguished and renewed..., New York Times - ...Spellbinding....This magnificent film conveys an intimation of what values count the most, of what really matters....Intelligent and sympathetic..., USA Today - "...[An] exquisitely mounted romantic gem..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4
Additional InformationA social-climbing young woman gains a foothold in the late Victorian upper crust by virtue of her wealthy and cultured aunt's social connections, but finds marriage to her true love, a poor hack journalist, incompatible with her new station. She cooks up a plan to use her lover to bilk a guileless and fabulously wealthy American woman of her considerable fortune, but putting the scheme into action sparks painful conflicting emotions. A sleek adaptation of the eponymous Henry James novel, with the source material's bitterness tempered by a more sympathetic characterization of its heroine. Academy Award nominations: 4, including Best Actress--Helena Bonham Carter; Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Costume Design, and Best Cinematography.
