User review:
Tom Ford’s debut has an immediate effect and an after effect. We are taken immediately by the “preciousness” of the image. Limpid, exquisite and slightly detached. The after effect is a whole other story. Colin Firth’s face comes to haunt you. His pain and his deep period of reflection has a powerful, contagious effect. Colin Firth creates a character that contains a doses of his D’Arcy of Pride and Prejudice and a pinch of his Adrian LeDuc of Apartment Zero but the rest is totally unedited. His middle age man that spends a day drowning in a memory that tortures him has a resonance that touches countless personal memories. Love without other implications, because love is all there is. I applauded until my hands hurt when I found out that Firth had won the Copa Volpi at the 2009 Venice Film Fest for this role. This was so richly deserved. I doubt I’ll see a better performance this year. Bravo!
