...despite mixed reviews, I thought it was a much better film than many critics gave it credit for being.

Intelligent movie, entertaining and gorgeous to look at.

I thought Crudup's performance was quite special.

There was perhaps a faint whiff of tying things up a bit too neatly at the end, but on the whole, this movie delves deeper and into more layers of emotional complexity than many recent, more rewarded films.

SiL is just...a bon-bon. Stage Beauty is the DVD I want to own.
