A couple of old Dames make the slender story of Ladies in Lavender surprisingly moving. Janet and Ursula (Maggie Smith and Judi Dench), a pair of elderly sisters living on the Cornish coast, discover a young Polish man named Andrea (Daniel Bruhl, Goodbye Lenin!) washed ashore and barely alive. They nurse him back to health and discover that he's a talented violinist--a fact also recognized by a mysterious young woman (Natascha McElhone, The Truman Show), who may woo Andrea away from them. The core of the movie is not its plot but the skillful and delicate play of emotions underlying how the sisters treat Andrea; Ursula, a spinster, finds herself sliding from maternal affection to an embarrassing but irresistible schoolgirl crush. Ladies in Lavender captures something that few contemporary movies bother to consider: Older men and women are as capable of passion and desire as the young, but the young carelessly (and sometimes cruelly) disregard the old. In the hands of Dench (Shakespeare in Love, Iris) and Smith (California Suite, Gosford Park)--as well as David Warner (Time After Time) as a bitter doctor--Ladies in Lavender becomes a bit like a violin concerto itself: Discreet and subtle, but finding in the smallest movements a richness of feeling. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A touching story
This film features Judi Dench and Maggie Smith at their best. This is a touching and sad story of two sisters whose quiet and ordered world is set reeling by the arrival of a young stranger when he is washed up on the beach near their lonely cottage.

During the film we get to meet many of the neighbors and friends in the area, and experience the anxiety which the boy and another newly-arrived girl engender in the inhabitants of this pre-World War II Cornish village.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Movie
I really bought this movie because it is filmed on location in Cornwall, one of my favorite places on earth. It turned out to be an interesting story with great acting. (No suprise from Judy Densch, of course.) It is a keeper!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Delivery and opinion of DVD
DVD delivered quickly and in good order. DVD one of my favourite. This one is a gift for a friend.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Ladies
This had good actors in it, but the sound seemed garbled, so it was hard to understand the dialogue.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - soft-hued lavender...
This is for those who enjoy the works of Maggie Smith and Judi Dench. Daniel Bruhl doesn't harm your eyes either. The story is joyously light but deep, the characters of Maggie Smith and Judi Dench are superbly played. It's like sibling rivalry, but not sibling rivalry. It's jealousy,
but not jealousy. Ah, life! So simple and complicate. I guess that's why life is beautiful...like lavenders swaying by the wind.

And the music throughout! Gorgeously played by Joshua Bell, and it ... Read More
