Mrs. Brown

Before you know it, you're caught up in a difficult but touching friendship, and enjoying a history lesson more than you ever thought possible.

The movie is insidious in its methods, asking us to see what is happening beneath the guarded surfaces.

...assuming that rich human insight, great production values, and topnotch acting still count for something, Mrs. Brown should have no trouble finding an appreciative audience.

Brilliant performances from the two lead actors -- Dench and Connolly -- as well as a witty, intelligent script make this a thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking movie.
