Reviews for Enchanted April
Like April weather most places north of the Mediterranean, this one is lukewarm, at best.
One can't help but start planning a vacation immediately after the film ends
Thematically, Mike Newell's film is similar to A Room With a View, focusing on the liberating impact of an Italian vacation on repressed, downtrodden Brit femmes, well acted by Joan Plowright, Miranda Richardson and Polly Walker.
It reminded me of the introspective but otherwise soft-hitting stories that my mother reads in her monthly book club. It's a rich film, but not the kind of rich that I like.
