Most helpful review The Wings of the Dove

Strikingly great!

[Highly rated reviewer]

Helena's performance is great! The complex among 3 characters and the whole atmosphere cannot be deployed better!

Steamy Helena

By a customer , 10 May 2012

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

Another feisty role for Helena Bonham Carter. I did not realise until the credits that the hero was Linus Roache (nothing like his dad!). A period weepy with no surprises in the story line. The steamy scene at the end seemed out of place and possibly unnecessary as it added nothing. The best thing about the film was that it was set almost entirely in Italy. The costumes were beautiful, but this is a film that I would probably never watch again.

OK if you like historical dramas - not if you don't

By a customer , 18 Jan 2012

If you like historical dramas, like Downton Abbey, as endlessly shown on TV, you will enjoy this film, but we didn't as it is very much more of the genre and a bit slow and sloppy in places.

Excellent movie, pity about the DVD

By midgelet (8 reviews) from Amersham , 20 Nov 2011

This was a great movie, deep and interesting. A pity it was ruined by the DVD stopping every now and then - we had to keep forwarding and rewinding and the whole ambience was destroyed. However the movie itself is very good.

An enjoyable period piece.

By a customer , 02 Oct 2011

I quite enjoyed this film although I do find that Helena Bonham-Carter seems to play characters that are very similar - maybe that's the fault of type-casting. It's not that I don't rate her acting but it's sometimes difficult to separate the roles she plays from film to film.

Fly away

By Emjay69 (327 reviews) from Kidlington, Oxford , 21 Sep 2011

Could have been a great deal better. The acting's okay but I had difficulty in following that which was going on and it left me in a state of frustration, Was it me at fault, perhaps being in the wrong frame of mind for this film?
