In Reply to: "Charlotte Gray"---I *really* liked this film. posted by Ears on July 21, 2002 at 00:58:36:
I'm really intrigued about this, and picked it up, based on it being a Gillian Armstrong film. I have yet to view it, but look forward to seeing it tomorrow.I find the plot intriguing, as it shows War...a largely male dominated enterprise...from the point of view of a "strong" woman, who is active in it.
I have "Plenty" with Merril Streep, and was largely confused by it. I have to give it another chance, because these same people who panned "Charlotte Gray",below, couldn't say enough good things about "Plenty". Guess they were blinded by Streep! Go figure.
Here's what someone else felt about "Charlotte Gray"...

Let me know what you feel about it, EARS.
Follow Ups:
**Charlotte Gray has all the necessary elements to be a tense, sexy thriller, but **I think the guy who wrote the review you linked to just didn't get it. "Charlotte Gray" is low-key in much the same way "Au revoir les enfants" is. In my original post, I purposely described it as a drama rather than a thriller. Given the setting and plot, it's almost reflexive to call it a thriller as even the positive review I've linked to does. It's more of a character study, really, and doesn't even seem to try to build suspense, just lets the events unfold while focusing on Charlotte. I can see how some people might find it dull, but I certainly didn't. Maybe being a huge Blanchett fan helps.
