How to reduce a girl to domestic and sexual functions
Disappointing. The actors do their best with an appalling script. It seems all Hanif Kureishi can manage to do with the aspirations of a young, working class ... read more »

Moving ...with one jarring note
A wonderful, tender film. It is a joy to watch O'Toole and his buddies (Particularly Leslie Phillips) showing the humour and pathos of old age. The only ... read more »

Don't waste any time on this!
Started with appalling language which we hoped would improve but it actually descended into a crass caricature totally beneath what we had thought was the ... read more »

Not for me.
I found this film to be in poor taste. There were some witty moments and to start with it was quite entertaining. As the story developed however, I found it ... read more »

More "Pluto" than "Venus" !
Truly awful. Just a vehicle for a few veteran actors to do their stuff. Depressing, distasteful and pointless - and if it had a message, it failed to get it ... read more »

What a surprise this was!
I wasn't sure I was going to like this film, as my memory of the reviews when it first came out made me think it might make for some 'uncomfortable'... read more »

Best of British
An excellent film, challenging and more than a little concerning in places, but desperately honest in its depiction of the characters.

Low budget + British film = poor effort
I agree with other reviewers that when you actually think about the plot, you think 'ewwwww'. With such a quality cast, you'd expect much more from... read more »

Unpleasant, creepy and distasteful
What a dreadful film. Far from being touching and amusing I found it painful and unpleasant to watch. Leacherous Peter O'Toole comes across as a dirty old ... read more »
