He is beautiful in this - this was the first film I had seen him in. Abby is wonderful too. Jane Campion's films are like works of art. I didn't want to say too much about Bright Star in case people haven't seen it yet, but I loved it as well. The Piano is still my favorite Jane Campion film tho. :)

I just finished watching the rest of the film and all I can say is it seems I've spent half of today in tears! What a heartbreaking story. Of course, i knew it wouldn't end well but the film was so well done I was practically sobbing! And yes, Ben is beautiful in this and Rob Schneider was also really good! BRIGHT STAR is only my second Sally Potter film, the first being THE PIANO which I loved. I'm ashamed to say I never did see SWEETIE or AN ANGEL MY TABLE. She's such a brilliant romantic!
I had started the day by going to see REMEMBER ME, the new Rob Pattinson film which turned out to be quite a little tearjerker as well. The film is not in the same league of course, but still well worth watching. I was pleasantly surprised to see Lena Olin as Pattinson's mother. I always like her and she does wonders with a rather small role. I know the ending has caused some controversy but it sure had me reaching for the Kleenex.
No wonder I'm depressed, sheesh! :'( :'(

I saw REMEMBER ME last week with my younger daughter. She made me promise not to read anything about it at IMDb before seeing it (which I typically do), so I really didn't know what I was in for. I thought the movie was well done and perfectly cast. (Robert Pattinson is VERY easy on the eyes.) Afterwards, I was more stunned than depressed -- no Kleenex needed here, and I cry quite easily. To me, it's the kind of movie that makes you think about how one thing (the actions of those mean girls at school, for example) can lead to another and result in a person ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time through no fault of their own, just by a twist of fate. I'm kind of surprised by the lousy reviews. In any event, I'm planning on seeing it again.
Front-Ranger:
Thanks for the recommendation, friend. I will give this a look whenever I have a craving for Robert Pattinson with no fangs. But my favourite RP movie so far is Little Ashes, where he plays Salvador Dali.

Seems to me this happens an awful lot these days. Between endless TV commercials for a film and appearances by the stars/director/whoever on TV chat shows to promote the film, it's the rare movie indeed--like, of course, Brokeback Mountain--that I really feel I need to see in order to know about it. :-\
