Beautifully written. A piece of literary art. The descriptions are at times wordsmith perfection. Easy to get lost in the writing. And the poignant story is compelling. I loved it.

I loved some of it and had to force myself to tolerate other aspects. I did not like the time shifts. I can see it would appeal to some. But not me. I couldnโt see the point of it or how it related to the story. They didnโt make sense. I didnโt like most of the characters. Awful people. Either that or characters were ineffective, whimpy, self absorbed, or just bad tempered. There wasnโt anyone to feel for except Stephan and Domenico. I wouldnโt read it again. Disappointing but passable.

A surprising film. I must admit to finding it challenging to watch but persevered because I was handstitching and couldnโt be bothered stopping to find something else. Watching people pretend to have sex is not my cup of tea. I feel uncomfortable for them, even if they donโt. And I got annoyed at Emma Thompsonโs character more than once. And at the male character for going along with the female characterโs disrespectful behaviours.
The film was at times cliched, and out of the realm of true to life conversation (itโs not fantasy genre) so I wondered what was the point, especially that awful far fetched interaction with the waitress? However overall it is well acted by both main performers, to a tight though at times cringeworthy script.
Despite all that Iโm glad I saw it. I am more impressed now with Thompson than ever, and I am already a fan!
I give it a 6.85
Good Luck to You, Leo Grande
