Miranda Richardson at her best
I'm surprised there aren't more messages on this board. Dance with a Stranger is an excellent film. It's stylish, haunting and powerful, very well directed by Mike Newell. Rupert Everett and Ian Holm are both very strong here. But it is the always-excellent Miranda Richardson as Ruth Ellis who is the core of this film and the main reason for seeing it. Richardson's performance here is strikingly good even by her own usual high standards. She deserved more awards and nominations for it. Highly recommended.
