Unbelievable movie. Actors where fantastic. I thought Kevin Spacey was so believable in this movie. I truly got into the emotions of the character (no one does it as well as Mr. Spacey). The scenery was one of the most beautiful I`ve seen in any movie. It makes you want to go there even if you hate cold weather. I would recommend this movie..
I personally didn`t like the book at all. The movie was a wonderful story that touched me. Kevin was the perfect Quolye with such kindness of spirit.
My husband and I really enjoyed this gem of a movie!Wonderful to watch and worth the twenty-three dollars.
Fine entertainment, but not everyone on the Rock is Gordon Pinsent.
Gorgeous
Kevin Spacey, the "ordinary" man fulfills this role completely. He is neither handsome nor sexy...simply ordinary, like most of us. His ability to complement the notion of everyman is what makes this film so successful. Annie Proulx`s magnificent story and the producer`s ability to recognize it, makes this an Oscar potential film.
Reading the others responses to this film, i was sort of skeptical. So i went to see it to decide for myself. I will sum it up for you "chick flick for the elderly" and there is nothing wrong with that! So for the younger crowd which is myself included, stay home so the appropriate crowd can enjoy the film in silence.
This movie was just beautiful to watch. They also did a great job with the Newfoundland accents. Super story as well.
Excellent movie. As a Newfoundlander I found it very realistic.
Just wonderful. Spacey deserves an Oscar nod.
