    I had never heard of this film even though I am a movie nut but I recorded it because I found Julianne Moore's name in the cast. I am still congratulating me on my instincts or my good luck. It was great fun all the way. Leave it to the Brits.

  1. The only problem I was faced with was trying to understand what exactly it was that I enjoyed, and how this movie differed from the play I'd read.
  2. We are amused. We are not sputtering into our teacups, but we are chortling lightly.
  3. It's a movie of uncommon eloquence and elegance, acted by a truly gifted cast.
