Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you do nothing else for yourself tonight, take the joy and ease of basking in the timeless perfection that is invariably Judi Dench and Maggie Smith! A tenderly shot film of sweetness, humour, love and loss -- punctuated with glorious music and vistas, Ladies in Lavender celebrates humanity in a fairly simple storyline -- you've probably read it. Along with Daniel Bruhl as the intoxicant, this English coastal village of hard work and generous friendships suddenly bursts with youth and new-found energies. On a subtle level, Dench and Smith look back, weighing their lives for better or worse. Their new beloved Andrea, who has washed ashore and been cared for by the ladies, leaves an indelibly enchanting memory on all of them, one he too will hold gently for a lifetime.
