The editing was excellent, btw...with Helen's flash backs to childhood and
as a young woman.
I LOVED the flashbacks to happier times...tender moments spent with her beautiful aunt (the subject of the painting), the dancing and celebrating at her wedding.
Dame Helen is just the best. I absolutely worship her in The Queen and Gosford Park. What a chameleon.
this movie which we saw few weeks ago is good but the script and direction just doens't offer the same complexity and nuances of character as the two you mention--
nor her "Prime Suspect" films--which squash all the laudible praise that Linklater's film received--
Helen Mirren did aging in place well before he started his film about a boy's life--and did it better...
Mirren is just a class act---but like any actor, the better the material and director, the better the result...
GREAT movie based on a true story. That woman in gold painting was absolutely stunning and precious as a family heirloom, it's completely understandable the trouble she went through to recover it.
