A virág románca

Ez egy hatalmas bukás lenne, mint a helyi project Geisler-rel. Még nem is világszínvonalú színészekkel, amelyet a rendező büszkén mutat be a fesztivál megnyitóján, mondván, hogy "elsősorban a közönségnek" (úgy értette, hogy "nem a kritikusoknak"?) készítette. Ha nem lennének azok a buja dekoltázsok, belefulladnék a hihetetlen UNALOM tengerébe. A film még vizuálisan sem érdekes, pedig állítólag teljes egészében a versailles-i kertekben és azok környékén játszódik. Emlékszel A király beszéde című film fantasztikusan fényképezett ködös kertjeire? Elég lett volna legalább ezt a díszletfilmes komponenst valamilyen szintre hozni, és a filmet meg lehetett volna menteni. Kate Winslet filmográfiájában csak egy szörnyűség, amibe nyilvánvalóan csak a szakmabeli barátja miatt ment bele. (2015.03.20)

This really isn’t very good. It’s good to have a film about dead people, but Rickman as director was the wrong choice. The whole thing is rather pointless. Playing with history may not always be a failure, but it should have some logic. Also, this version of Kate didn't have anything to work with. (2018.05.28)

I must admit at the outset that I sought out this film mainly because of Kate Winslet, but I was also curious to see how Alan Rickman would handle directing. Unfortunately, I have to say that I was somewhat disappointed. From a technical point of view, i.e. in terms of production design, cinematography, costumes and overall historical authenticity, I was quite satisfied, but the stumbling block was the script and sometimes the behaviour of the characters, which did not leave a very positive impression on me. All in all, an average film that is visually compelling, but it’s marred by the plot. (2015.08.28)

Nice acting, but mainly a director's farewell from Alan Rickman, where he showed that he has an eye for interesting stories and is capable of shooting them from a different position than just an actor's. And the film is good as desired, but simply not memorable. You will have quite pleasant feelings from it, but they will quickly fade away and nothing really special will remain. Maybe just the desire to visit Versailles. (2016.05.25)
