Legal drama is one of my favourites subjects/sub-genres. So I wasn't expecting to be a movie about the Satan and the evil... Definitely got surprised by that.
Not a huge fan of Al Pacino, but have to say that he gives one of his best performances. Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron make a good couple.
Just sweet and lovely this movie. Very beautiful, with great performances from the cast.
Interesting to see the differences between New York and London in the post-war years. The people, the costumes, the way of being and living... I quite often miss those times, even though I never lived them... There's something beautiful and romantic about writing letters, using typewriters, using phones, watching TV or listen to the radio, reading the newspaper.
New York is to me now what London…
Amazing cast, amazing performances, amazing film. Best performance from Mark Wahlberg I've ever seen, not the best performance from Jack Nicholson that I've ever seen. The same can be said about the film, not my favourite from Marty, but it's a excellent movie no doubt.
Powerful stuff on this one.
The way the story of Paiva family is told is such touching and heartbreaking. And that time (70's dictatorship) is represented in such a good and neutral way. Such a beautiful and well acted movie.
The music, the friendship, the gatherings, the freedom of thought being cut or controlled is such an horrible act. The suffering, the pain, the uncertainty, the doubt that comes from taking away someone who's an husband, a father, a friend…
