| Movie Haiku: | 70+ actor (O’Toole), settled in his narrow London-based routine meets his “Venus” (Whittaker), who’s unformed, provincial, & very young. While their “special friendship” often made us queasy, O’Toole’s performance & scenes with buddy (Phillips) & ex-wife (Redgrave) save the day. With a screenplay by Hanif Kureishi, we hoped for more. | ADDITIONAL FF2 INFO ABOUT THIS FILM: | Women filmmakers? | No | Jewish content? | No | Haiku Posted: | 2006 | |
