    A very cute watch thanks to the lead trio. I did not care much for the story or the sort of dry execution, but as has been remarked upon plenty, somehow everyone being in love with each other adds so much to this film. I'd also like to add how much I was floored by the character of Tilney; never have I seen an Old Hollywood movie centred on white people treat its sole black character with this much humanity (apart from Christmas in Connecticut, and that guy has like...2 lines).

    More of a plot certainly couldn't have hurt this but even so it's just such an astonishing array of enchanting numbers that it makes your head spin. Could have been 3 hours long for all I care

    The more I watch this the less I am convinced this is a bad movie. Actually it's heterosexual camp

    Unbelievably loathsome movie. A little over 90 minutes of absolutely nothing happening, apart from two people - one of whom is unfortunately Ethan Hawke - throwing absurd philosophical statements at each other. There is literally nothing here that is compelling, neither on an artistic nor an emotional level. It's the ultimate misogynistic sadboy fantasy. I hate very few movies but this has got to be one of them.
