Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Rogue-18 "Princess Caraboo" is a rare breed of film these days -- aimed at adults, but highly respectful of the human soul and therefore safe for all ages. All viewers should find the historical angle fascinating, lovers of whimsical, offbeat humor will be delighted, "romantics" will be stirred by the powerful ending...and the ravishing color palette of the sets and costumes will enchant those who crave sheer visual beauty. I personally thought the wonderful ending was handled very well -- it was particularly powerful for being beautifully understated, and did not "take away" from the effectiveness of the story. Because it had been foreshadowed (with great subtlety) throughout the movie, it did not arrive as a shock but rather as a fulfillment.I must also put in a good word for the glorious music...another home run. See this film. As others have noted, it will stay with you long afterward.
sonofhades I saw this film on a long bus trip on video and have to admit that it was a drama movie to my liking.I would like to recommend this one to anyone who likes good quality, historical drama.
Ripe Peach Cates is insipid and unconvincing, Kline over-acts as always, as does Lithgow while butchering an English accent (at least, I assume that's what he's attempting), and the tone staggers uneasily between farcical and maudlin. As with most pet projects showcasing a celebrity couple, it's a relief when this shoddy piece grinds to it's forced and jarring conclusion.
Lancelot-16 This is a real gem of a movie. The cast is wonderful. Phoebe Cates' performance is extraordinary -- both funny and moving. At all levels the movie is very well made. But the most surprising thing, for me, was how much I continued to think about the story for days and weeks after seeing the movie. I strongly recommend it.
