Search: Starring Elizabeth McGovern

Angels Crest has a number of peripheral problems, mostly to do with the sheer number of under-developed characters and subplots.

At turns funny, violent, bitter and over the top, it's a curious little fable about boredom, risk-taking, and the frustration experienced by trained fighters in peacetime.

Intrigue peels away to reveal darker, deeper layers of complexity and corruption. The plot explodes.

Padded in places and threadbare in others, like an old mattress.

Recursive nostalgia is no substitute for quality, and it drowns everything else in tepidity.

This is a long, slow and supremely well-written film.

The characters are thinly drawn.

Anya's performance as Alice does enough to keep the film interesting throughout.

Co-writer/director George Milton avoids the pitfalls of mind-washed religious cult horror flicks by creating characters that remain true to their own insecurities.

Amini's script cuts James to the bone. Softley allows the magic of Venice to intoxicate his senses.

Elegantly put together and watchable throughout, but falling short of the potential offered by this fascinating case, Woman In Gold has the shiny appeal of Klimt's work but none of the depth.
