The Queen (2006)
Bravo
The death of Diana was handled with impeccable taste; very moving but not intrusive. My only criticism was the choice of Alex Jennings as Prince Charles. He didn't look or sound like Charles and I found him to be completely distracting. On the other hand, the use of archival footage to represent Diana's life was brilliant; no actress has yet been able to capture her charisma and beauty.
James Cromwell's Prince Philip was cold and very unsympathetic - much like the prince himself. Diana's sons are rarely shown in the movie, which I find very respectful toward their grief. All in all, a superb effort.
Return to Me (2000)
Very refreshing!
You know at the beginning that Minnie Driver needs a heart. But the movie doesn't belabor the tragedy that provides the heart. The donor's husband's grief is told in the details of his life, not in long drawn-out discussions. His grief is so much more believable as a result. The end is predictable but the road to the end is so enjoyable it doesn't matter.
