I do not understand the people that say this is a good movie. I guess the potential is there... but it flopped big time. The only good thing about this movie is Redgrave. Oh yeah... and the hot young Italian she shuns...
Storyline: older lady likes older man. Older man likes younger woman. Younger woman leads on older man. Audience falls asleep.
Why anyone likes the older man is beyond comprehension. He is unattractive in so many ways. He has one of the most unlikeable personalities ever. And I don't mean that you will come to understand his quirky ways later in the movie... you don't. He is just as unlikeable in the end as he is in the beginning. Ms. Redgraves character is so enamored with him for NO reason at all. I don't understand it. He is not witty, polite, smart, anything... ick.
Uma's character is pointless, mean and well... pointless and mean.
Maybe the book was better than the movie. The movie stunk.
