Reviews of A Room with a View etc.

Is there a lawyer out there? I don't know if I can publish reviews from for instance Maltin's movie guide without asking permission (even though it is only a few lines...) Therefore, for the time being, I will keep to those I have got permission to publish...

Mick Martin & Marsha Porter: Video Movie Guide 1997

ROOM WITH A VIEW, A ***** This is a triumph of tasteful, intelligent filmmaking. Director James Ivory painstakingly re-creates the mood, manners, and milieu of 1908 Edwardian England as he explores the consequence of a tour of Florence, Italy, taken by an innocently curious young woman (Helena Bonham Carter) and her persnickety, meddling aunt (Maggie Smith, in top form). Unrated, the film has one brief scene of violence and some male frontal nudity. 115m. DIR:James Ivory. CAST: Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter, Denholm Elliott, Julian Sands, Daniel Day-Lewis, Simon Callow, Judy Dench, Rosemary Leach, Rupert Graves. 1986

The rating system: ***** - TURKEY. (*****=Excellent).
