The answer to that is "No", because Ian Hislop chose this film as one of his all-time hated things on TV's "Room 101". I just loathed the pretentious, upper-middle class types (who'd paradoxically love this film) and their glutinous love affair. And that teacher with the Down's Syndrome boy....Yeeuuch!!
share'Hated' is a strong word I just found it boring, slow and annoying.
shareI didn't 'hate' it but I wasn't impressed. There's one great early scene, where Nina breaks down while talking to her therapist - superb work by Juliet Stevenson there - upon which I thought the film was finding its feet, but it was swiftly followed by the truly terrible scene where her sister asks to 'borrow' Jamie's cello and the film never recovered. Some of the Stevenson/Rickman scenes were watchable enough (I was surprised just how little Rickman is in it). The worst sequence in the film - I rolled my eyes here - was the hopping in the park bit with the new love interest.
