Beautifully made Jane Campion film. Quiet and reflective rather than exploitative of viewer's base emotions. For the thoughtful person appreciative... f artistic film making. Full Review
Only a true snob would not love this movie. The pastoral scenes alone are worth the experience. Glorious costumes, and the insight into the mind of a... great poet. The scene when Keats describes to his lady, how a poet would experience a dive into the water..sets the tone for the rest of the film. Full Review
A really disappointing film. It appeared to have been put together from a series of outtakes. There was no chemistry betwwen the two lead characters.... Ben Winshaw, I believe was badly caste as Keats and possessed no charisma. The film was overlong and one paced, and so dry as to have been almost unpalatable. Full Review
oops...forgot the stars
Jane Campion has managed to write/direct another treasure which is almost as superlative as “the piano”. The cinematography was gorgeous... ut and contained scenes that will leave the truly discerning “breathless”. Abbie Cornish and Ben Whishaw deliver a riveting and unforgettable performance. This movie is likely to move slowly for those who have low attention spans, rely on action and violence for stimulation, and/or have little appreciation for intelligent dialogue. For those with poetic souls, this is a performance NOT to missed. I can almost guarantee it will be held in your memory as an unforgettable experien Full Review

Masterfully put-together, made with confidence, intelligence and command.Full Review
Campion's big-sisterly encouragement of Cornish's lovely, openhearted performance -- and Whishaw's well-matched response -- results in a character instantly, intimately recognizable to anyone remembering her own first love.Full Review
