Kevin L @Lakeman Nov 13, 2024 I love Sally Hawkins. She's wonderful here, as she always is. Totally captures the fractured sense of a person whose life was permanently derailed by a monster of a mother and the trauma of some bugger jilting her. But I wonder if it wasn't the potential of having that evil bat as his mother-in-law that did it. Thewlis is great, too, as a light of hope for Hawkins' Jane. But then that's broken off as well. Billie Piper plays her right dirtbag sister. Basically, this was huge bummer. I can usually take downer subject matter just fine. But this was nothing but down but for a brieft stretch. 2.7 stars See more isla s @RT89656869 Sep 2, 2022 This is very much a quirky character driven drama. Sally Hawkins does well portraying a vulnerable, demure young lady. Its more sad than it is funny, so I'm surprised its categorised, in part, as a comedy - there are some light hearted moments in it I suppose but its more a depiction of a dysfunctional family at large than primarily an idyllic rom-com. I thought the cast did well and its an interesting watch. It became quite moving after about an hour, when things take a somewhat more dark turn. I think Sally's performance is reasonably memorable and I'd recommend this film to fans of hers. A key word relating to this film and the main character is fragility.

I don't think it is that "bad". See more Jan 3, 2022 Loved the incredible Sally Hawkins who never fails to breathe life into her characters. Her performance was what kept me watching!

Amazing picture and cinematographic details that makes you want to find out more about the film and director . See more dave d @RT34924333 Mar 11, 2021 'Eternal Beauty' is too often a portrait of cruelty, and not enough kindness.  It is, however, a showcase for the tremendous talents of Sally Hawkins.  At times, I wanted to scratch my eyeballs out, but it's beautiful.  For me, it just wasn't successful at managing the balance that writer and director Craig Roberts was shooting for.  Final Score: 5/10 See more Read all reviews
