    Funny, sad, moving and, above all, astute, making I Capture the Castle a fabulous film. Even the cars are tasty.

    Smith's beautifully observed story of two young women learning how cruel and calculating the world -- and they -- can be is beautifully realized, and Garai stands out among a fine ensemble cast.

    Could have been a sensation if a director with a smidgen of moviemaking instinct had taken the helm.
