Quills

It's a very strange film. I love my weird films, but this was even weirder for being a bizarre period piece, a genre of cinema that is usually pretty straight-forward. That, and Geoffrey Rush's brill performance, saved it for me. It... Full review

This was one of the greatest movies I seen in a long why. Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor. It has a gret plot. Recommend every over 17 to watch it.... Full review

This movie is loosely based on Marquis de sade but generally not historically correct. It is a fun movie to watch though and I rather enjoyed it, I recommend it.... Full review

This movie was definetly and adult only movie. The main plot revolving around the Marquis de Sade (Geffery rush), the Abbey(Joaquin Phoenix), the Dr. Royer-Collard(Micheal Caine), and the laundry nurse(kate Winslet). The story of the Marquis who was obsessed with writing... Full review

There are so many words that can be used to describe probably one of the most controversial movies in history. Kate Winslet has proven time and time again that she is an extremely talented actress and I believe she may be... Full review

Sure it may be a disturbing movie, but it was crafted superbly and I would give it high marks in every category. Geoffrey Rush's performance is stellar.... Full review

Considering the well-known cast, and the way the story was progressing, the last half hour of this story has to be - and this is putting it mildly - a major disappointment. In fact, I would have to rate this... Full review

This wasn't such a great movie, except for the brilliant performance of Geoffrey Rush. The rest of the cast were fine as well, including my old favorite, Michael Caine. The visuals were not very good for a historical drama - the... Full review

And that would have been a great subject for the film to tackle. Mr. Kaufman, who has shined with "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and "Henry and June," creates the proper atmosphere without verging too often into Monty Python territory. ... Full Review

The film becomes an impassioned polemic on artistic freedom in a repressive political climate. In this, "Quills" has a strikingly contemporary tone. Rush is amazing throughout this absorbing, provocative film, which is set in Gothic confines. ... Full Review

Make no mistake, there are some terrific moments here, with the most memorable images emanating from the scenes described above. The acting is superb throughout, with Caine, Phoenix and Winslet all putting in sterling performances. ... Full Review

The provocateur at the center of Quills is disturbing indeed. The movie may be too lacking in subtlety to qualify as great, but its star performance is not to be forgotten. ... Full Review

The second is that the movie will not be a lighthearted romp. Employing the talents of a top-flight cast and working from a screenplay that uses the historical backdrop as a means to deal with issues of contemporary import, Quills offers a thoroughly compelling two hours. ... Full Review
