Saoirse Ronan shone in the leading role and so did Emory Cohen (lovely Tony). <br />I can't say anything about the book, but based on how lovely the movie was I would have thought the book was so as well.<br />I think one of the few books I've read before seeing the movie was The Martian and was so disappointed in the movie...Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242364668293349799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-21074225612928482482016-03-27T18:39:27.741-07:002016-03-27T18:39:27.741-07:00Saoirse Ronan was truly great in that role.

I liked the movie too. I was impressed by Saoirse Ronan in the lead role. I did not read the book -- and will take a pass on it. As for Henry James, I tried one of his books once and was utterly bored in no time flat. Don't plan to return to Mr. James in the near millennium. thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-22721702661317407302016-03-27T17:27:34.209-07:002016-03-27T17:27:34.209-07:00I've not seen the movie or read the book, but ...I've not seen the movie or read the book, but I think you are right.

The fact that Nick Hornby wrote the screenplay is a strong pull for me. The idea of seeing Colm Toibin as translated by, or through the eyes of Nick Hornby makes the movie all the more appealing.JoanneMarie Fausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751278640738482830noreply@blogger.com
