    Worthy of 'most' of the hype.

    A profoundly moving and original film, despite the presence of the ridiculous Keira Knightley, second only to Victoria Beckham in the 'have you seen my pout' stakes. James MacEvoy is outstanding, as he was in 'The Last King of Scotland'.

    I agree with those who feel this film, like most things British, has been over-hyped. We have our media to thank for that. However this is well worth a watch. Even non-romantics will be impressed with the acting, scenery and direction. And very few words are wasted.
