One of the lesser Copollá's and thast´s all right, because its a nice recreation of period more than moral or criminal or formative exploration. Cage is more than ok, even better than Turner.

More interesting as a point in woman resolution (Wood asks nothing to McQueen and wants to afford proudly wahtever is coming to her) than describing a poor social italian background (a bit too many clises there). Mulligan has a good hand directing.

Good cast, including a spoiles whimsical Rogers, and some sincerity in the love affair: Gaynor is in love with Farrell despite simpathy of Dunn.

Hope is funny and Lamour always serves the purpose. Not one but two sidekicks (Bracken and Overman) because Hope's character is a star obligued to be a poor reclute, and that´s a good plot.

Dick Richards hits the noir tradition, a bit late but at leat he could have an excellent Mitchum and introduce Rampling to the darkest sides of life and great secondary characters as Moosey Malloy...

Sort of distorted film. Tracy and Lamarr and a Charles MacArthur plot, has to many idiot melodramatic modern/ethics stuff of what a doctor must do about the poors....

Coixet is trying evary theme everywhere, as Hollywood and it has such universal clisés. The courage, the so bad aristocrats, the lonely good hearted widower, not so much to add.

Small good Cantet: the teacher learns more than the rebel but in the extreme good student (excellent Lucci)

At the end, Wenders became a superficial, sexy deep diving (because Vikander studies the deep sea), all correct but thrilleresque, filmmaker...

Great plot, fine equilibrium between large cast because they're so accidetnally interdependent. The Schlegel's are as intelligent as naif between rcih and poor. In other lecture, almost everything happens because of Vanessa Redgrave wrinting a message leaving her home...
