Delightful Story,

This review is from: A Month by the Lake (DVD)
A Month by the LakeThis story is delightful. My favorite scene is the tennis competition. I love the improbablitiy of the love triangle. This whole story is magical...a little snippit from a time that was/or a time that one wishes might have been. Just flow along with the story, & you will enjoy all of it.

Brillant!!!,

This review is from: A Month by the Lake (DVD)
If you have ever spent time in Italy and especially Lake Garda you will get this movie - it holds the promise of love and adventure away from the restrictions and criticisms of the left brain - as well as society!When I need a holiday from the everyday I let this movie transport me to another frame of mind! But this movie is not for the fainthearted or the younger gen - it is for people who have lived and know what it is to have lived.

Terrible,
By
This review is from: A Month by the Lake (DVD)
It is 1937, and a spunky spinster (Vanessa Redgrave) is spending a month at a villa on Lake Como. There she meets and is intrigued by a pompous old major (Edward Fox). He, on the other hand, has eyes only for a lovely but cruel young nanny (Uma Thurmon).How could a movie about beautiful Lake Como and a lovelorn English lady go wrong? Apparently, very easily. This terribly-misguided movie has a juvenile script, hammy actors, and poor direction. Even the wardrobe, makeup, and hairdos are way off, looking like contemporary styles rather than pre-WWII. The attraction between the spinster and the major is never explained and their bantering is off-putting as well as boring. Thurmon over-enunciates every syllable and shouts like she's doing a (bad) high school play. None of the stars is believable in their roles. Despite the picturesque location, there's absolutely nothing romantic about this movie. Disappointing.
