A Masterpiece!
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
This is a watchable biopic about one of the most unique and enchanting actresses of her time, Audrey Hepburn. I am glad I watched it.There are some faults: The main issue here is whether Jennifer Love Hewitt was right for the role and did a good job. Firstly there is no one who can match Audrey perfectly so it's unreasonable to expect that. Having said that physically, JLH doesn't look like Audrey Hepburn. Her shape of face is too thin and pointy. Her figure is too curvy. But putting the physical differences aside, her acting is adequate. Her accent was a bit low pitched and she didn't quite get it right. The Continental air isn't quite there. But JLH is quite delightful to watch so it might as well have been her.The movie stopped a bit early, not covering My Fair Lady and her later life enough. Too much spent on her relationship with her father and early life. Eric McCormack is a strange choice for Mel Ferrer. Overall worth watching.
I am one of the biggest Audrey Hepburn fans out there and this movie made me literally cry.Jennifer Love Hewitt was horrible. Her accent in the movie was NO where near Audrey's. Her laugh and personality didn't capture anything. Plus, not only was Hewitt horrible, but the plot was too. A lot of the events in the movie did NOT happen in Audrey's real life. Sean Hepburn-Ferrer, Audrey's son said he watched this movie and was very disappointed. Well if i was her son, i would be too! When people say someone else should have played Hepburn, like Natalie Portman, or Winona Ryder, that's also ridiculous. NO ONE in Hollywood history could EVER be Audrey Hepburn. She was graceful, classy, had an amazing sense of style and something that can't be described.What a disappointment.
While Eric McCormack as Mel Ferrer never shakes his Will Truman persona, Jennifer Love Hewitt is shockingly good as Audrey Hepburn, far better than I ever imagined she could be. For an actress with relatively limited talent, she does an amazing job of capturing the actress' essence and slightly-accented voice. The film is a fairly accurate retelling of the actress' life and career, although the story doesn't extend beyond the filming of "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Whoever submitted the goof claiming Hepburn and her father reconciled and were close until his death goofed himself - although after reuniting with him in Ireland she sent him financial support on occasion, he remained emotionally aloof and never acknowledged her success, privately or publicly. As biopics go, this is a fairly straightforward and rather dull account, only because Hepburn's personal life and career were scandal-free, with no "Mommie Dearest" dirt to spice things up.
I must admit that after reading all of the reviews to be horrified by JLH presentation as Audrey Hepburn. But I was somewhat surprised. I didn't think that she was the best actress available, I think Emmy Rossum should have played Audrey the entire movie, but JLH does an alright job. She doesn't do the perfect accent, but then I don't think that any actress could do the accent perfectly. I never knew of the horrible things that happened to Audrey during her life and this movie made me cry, especially during Emmy's scenes. I have such respect for Audrey Hepburn now. The work she did made such a difference and it's sad that she is gone now.
