VHS Movie Reviews of Very Annie Mary (Ws Dol Enh)
Movie Review: A Wonderful Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Very Annie Mary is one of the best movies I've seen in years. It is different and delightful. Lots of really funny stuff and some very moving and emotional moments. It's a keeper and I've recommended it to everybody. I saw it by accident one day on cable and, having seen only the last 2/3 of it, immediately ordered it online. It's wonderful.Movie Review: A brilliant actress in a brilliant role
Summary: 4 Stars
Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under) plays her most brilliant role in Very Annie Mary (2001).
Annie Mary Pugh is a woman of 33 who still lives at home with her domineering father, played by Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Carribean). Her father owns the bakery in Ogw, Wales, and is considered the "Voice of the Valley" because of his beautiful tenor singing.
As the movie progresses, we are shown Annie's shattered dreams. She presents almost as one with a developmental disability - socially awkward, clumsy, often embarassingly inappropriate - but perhaps these are mannerisms that have developed over the years of living her life knowing that the Great Opportunity passed by?
I don't want to say too much. It's better to go into this film not knowing. There are so many little surprises and big revelations. Just know that I found this movie both funny and touching. It's a story of a woman finally finding her voice.
Movie Review: Very Welsh Quirky with a terrific cast to pull it off!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is one charming if not extremely oddly refreshing 100 minutes.The story and it's characters are totally implausible, but the overly-talented cast of Ionn Gruffudd,Rachel Griffiths,Jonathan Pryce and others really shine as they always do.There are laughs and there are tears,and there is stunning cinematography of South Wales;but the storyline is just too bizarre for it's own good.Alot of belief has to be suspended in order to savour this 'Very Welsh Quirky".I think maybe 3-1/2 *s is most appropriate.Still,one viewing is worth the time. Companion films
to VERY ANNIE MARY would be BIG EDEN and STATE AND MAIN.
Movie Review: Very Annie Mary
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. However, the ad for it does not state whether or not it is closed captioned. Since I need closed captioned I was diappointed when I received it to find out that it is not closed captioned. You might want to consider putting this info in your ad regarding each movie.
Thanks.
Movie Review: Unusual, Endearing, Amusing & Ultimately Satisfying
Summary: 5 Stars
"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful."
- Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)
Someone recommended this film to me and I finally got around to watching it last night. Wish I hadn't waited! What a funny and ultimately joyful film. Another review referred to it as quirky. Yes, quirky in the best sense and filled with the odd characters I've begun to think I could find in any small village of Wales, Ireland or Scotland. I know, I know... not likely, but please don't burst my happy misapprehensions! They're surely a boost for the tourist trade. (Others of this ilk: Bally Kissangel, Monarch of the Glen, etc.)
I think you'll especially love the music in this film,, so much so that I'm adding the words to the ending song. It's Lauretta's classic aria, "O Mio Babbino Caro," from Giacomo Puccini's opera GIANNI SCHICCHI; sung beautifully by Welsh soprano Meriel Andrews in this film. Check out the soundtrack on Amazon. (Hope it's okay to copy these lyrics here for future readers. I've taken them from a couple of different sources.)
O mio babbino caro,
mi piace ? bello, bello;
vo'andare in Porta Rossa
a comperar l'anello!
S?, s?, ci voglio andare!
e se l'amassi invano,
andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,
ma per buttarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
O Dio, vorrei morir!
Babbo, piet?, piet?!
Babbo, piet?, piet?!
Oh my dearest papa (or "Oh, my dear daddy" but "dearest papa" scans better with the music.)
I love him, he is so handsome
I want to go to Porta Rossa
to buy the ring.
Yes, yes, I want to go there
And if my love were in vain
I would go to Ponte Vecchio
and throw myself into the Arno.
I struggle and suffer torments
Oh God, I would rather die.
Papa, have pity, have pity.
Papa, have pity, have pity.
