...and it happens slowly. If you're into blank stares and conversations that just end with one of the participants walking out of the frame, then this is the picture for you. Kenneth Branagh is given a little bit to work with and gets what he can out of it, but Colin Firth (whom I enjoy in so many other roles) has the dubious task of playing a hollow man who can't exhibit growth or even normal emotion. There are a few good shots of the Yorkshire countryside, but they've been presented better in other films.
