Inaudible - Effie Gray review by CP Customer
What, no subtitles? Visually the film was superb, especially the locations, and the cast was excellent, but that is of no avail when you can't hear a word.

Intelligently beautiful - Effie Gray review by CP Customer
Stunning settings, wonderful costumes. Perfect performances. Be sure to listen to Emma Thompson and Dakota Fanning talking about making the film in the extra bits.
First class.

Interesting - Effie Gray review by MM
Beautiful cinematography in set scenes. The script made Ruskin a total villain, ditto his parents - so a bit wooden/cliche, but worth seeing for its interesting story and sumptuousness. Subtitles would have made it more enjoyable as the sound was not the best.
