    Product Description
    TWO SISTERS FIND THEIR LIVES CHANGED BY A YOUNG MAN WHO HAS BEEN WASHED ASHORE & BADLY INJURED. UPON TAKING HIM IN, THE TWO WOME DISCOVER THE MAN'S TRUE ORIGINS & HIS TALENTS AS A GIFTED VIOLINIST, EMBARKING ON A JOURNEY THEY HAD NEVER IMAGINED FOR THEMSELVES.

    Amazon.com
    A couple of old Dames make the slender story of Ladies in Lavender surprisingly moving. Janet and Ursula (Maggie Smith and Judi Dench), a pair of elderly sisters living on the Cornish coast, discover a young Polish man named Andrea (Daniel Bruhl, Goodbye Lenin!) washed ashore and barely alive. They nurse him back to health and discover that he's a talented violinist--a fact also recognized by a mysterious young woman (Natascha McElhone, The Truman Show), who may woo Andrea away from them. The core of the movie is not its plot but the skillful and delicate play of emotions underlying how the sisters treat Andrea; Ursula, a spinster, finds herself sliding from maternal affection to an embarrassing but irresistible schoolgirl crush. Ladies in Lavender captures something that few contemporary movies bother to consider: Older men and women are as capable of passion and desire as the young, but the young carelessly (and sometimes cruelly) disregard the old. In the hands of Dench (Shakespeare in Love, Iris) and Smith (California Suite, Gosford Park)--as well as David Warner (Time After Time) as a bitter doctor--Ladies in Lavender becomes a bit like a violin concerto itself: Discreet and subtle, but finding in the smallest movements a richness of feeling. --Bret Fetzer

    5 out of 5 stars Great actress, wonderful scene with excellent classic music   June 5, 2009
    Sunshine (Monrovia, CA USA)
    This is one of the movie recommended when I was reading the information about Mrs. Henderson Present. I bought the movie simply out of the good rating and did not even consider the part of the classic music. Well, where they filmed the movie is just so beautiful that my mother enjoyed it so much and watched it twice already. I did not know that Joshua Bell could play the voilin so well until I heard the music at the end. The actress for both elderly adies are excellent. It is amazing that the director could come up with such a nice piece for such a simple short stories. I wish there were more of this kind of movies that both generation can enjoy and share.


    5 out of 5 stars SUPERLATIVES FOR THIS CINEMATIC ENDEAVOR   May 12, 2009
    RAYMOND NELSON (ST PETERSBURG FL)
    It is impossible to fully express all the pleasure and joy I obtained through witnessing this British film; what a magnificent, thought-provoking and rewarding tour-de-force awaits the viewer! Prepare yourself for an intellectually stimulating, touching fragment of human experience rarely portrayed on screen, yet totally believable here in its sensitive between-world-wars portrayal. The dazzling English cinematography is superb and totally nestles within the plot.


    3 out of 5 stars Enjoyable film   April 29, 2009
    B. Rees (CA United States)
    Wonderful performances by Dame Judy Dench and Maggie Smith. The Cornwall, England country side and the little house makes me wanted to visit the area. The movie description reads beautifully, but was executed in a disappointing fashion. The story fails to grab the viewer and bring depth to the experiences and interactions. I couldn't identify with the violinist as a personality. He projects the image of an overgrown selfish young adult. A start contrast to the sensitive way in which he plays his violin. The story line is tenuous and doesn't satisfy.


    5 out of 5 stars Ladies In Lavender - two fabulous actors!   April 9, 2009
    Barbara Kyger
    Dame Judi Dench and Maggie Smith are great playing sisters and the beautiful music score is played by violinist Joshua Bell. You'll want the movie soundtrack!


    5 out of 5 stars Love On Many Levels   December 6, 2008

    Any film with Judi Dench and Maggie Smith is automatically worth buying, but Ladies in Lavender has a special appeal beyond even the draw of these two fine actresses.

    In the late 1930s two lonely sisters live a quiet life in Cornwall. One morning they discover a mysterious young man washed up on the beach near their home. As they nurse him back to health, they discover old memories and some regrets, and learn new love and tenderness. The young man reveals unexpected depths and gifts and shows his own gratitude and love for the sisters, even when tempted by glamour and beauty.

    This is a kindly, pleasing story with enormous emotional appeal. There's enough humor to keep the mood from getting too dark, but the overtones of the times, (of which we are reminded by occasional radio news reports) are always present to provide more pathos. Ladies in Lavender will join the select group of beloved films which I will always try to keep close at hand.
