Pros: Maggie Smith, Chris Cooper, Setting, Characterizations, Cinematography
Cons: Pacing is slow, plot is secondary, some may find it boring
For many years, we had none of the good movie channels. We were simply too cheap to subscribe. But with the arrival of high speed internet service also came the arrival of digital cable - for no additional charge. Music to my ears – we now get ...

Pros: Cinematography, direction, script, score, screenplay, sets, costumes, location, cast and the luminous Maggie Smith.
Cons: I found no flaws.

Pros: The acting is simply grand. The storyline and subplots develop smartly.
Cons: As is the case with most English-type dramas the pace is not rapid fire.
Maggie Smith, it's probably Dame Maggie Smith I would imagine, has a vehicle here to work her magic. This wonderful actress carries this film set in the beautiful Italian countryside from start to finish. I'll admit I didn't have a clue where this ...
