    Redgrave puts all she's got into something other actors might just toss off or throw away. She's present every moment; this is an actress who doesn't have a second to waste.
  2. García Bernal's irrepressible charm provides a burst of welcome energy with each brief appearance.

    The larger problem is that the central duo is just plain dull.

  1. Being a bloke I resisted seeing this because I heard it received ho-hum reviews. Was I wrong. And just for context I couldn't even finish watching SexCity2, which was just terrible. Anyways Letter is a sweet charmer, and sure it's predictable, but so what. Fantastic scenery, good performances all round and Vanessa Redgrave was superb. What a magnificent, radiant presence to light up the screen. So against expectations I thoroughly enjoyed it. And even had a little weep. And I'm so tired of cynical critics who just seem to get off trashing everything they can (no wonder they're a dieing breed). Movies don't have to be great works of art, they can just be entertaining and heart warming. Expand

  2. Simply charming, a typically ravishing movie and with every clichés that deserves. Talking that the movie is characteristically romantic and it has clichés might seems negative but in this case is not. The movie is so well written, the script is genial, the performances are truthful, the photography is beautiful, the soundtrack is so charming... without words. For those who likes romance it's a obrigatory movie. Probably a modern classic hence a couple years. Expand

  3. This movie was simply awful - Boring, bland & extrememly predictable. I gave it a 1 for a nice location, but it lost a lot of points for wasting a couple of hours of my life. That's it i'm afraid. Expand
