6.5 star rating is so sad for this film


So surprised to see it rated so low! Over the years I've seen it at least half a dozen times, and it's never struck me as less than a fine, fine piece of work with several extraordinary performances.

Miranda Richardson is one of those actors who suffers from Western culture's celebrity fixation. She's not a headline grabber, doesn't court cameras or gossip blogs. She is instead an amazing artist, brilliant in her work, and that's not enough to garner the attention it deserves.

Tom and Viv is one helluva showcase for her. It's sad to think the casual browser might see its mediocre star rating here and pass it by.

Quite agree. Rated it an 8 personally.
