COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Gripping story submitted by Cami K on July 15, 2011, 4:35pm This movie has a gripping story and both Scarlet Johansson's and Colin Firth's performances shine. It is definitely worth seeing.

Movie submitted by 0liviap0pp on August 21, 2011, 6:00pm This is a great movie!

Maybe a good book but submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 5, 2015, 3:13pm ... a truly terrible movie. Very "artistic," though. Long sequences, scene after scene, without dialogue. Many longing glances. Utter crap. I hope the actors were well paid.

a disappointment submitted by crp on July 28, 2020, 2:16pm Despite the fact that they recruited ScarJo for this movie, it's not worth your time!

Don't judge a book by its movie submitted by SurfGrape on July 4, 2021, 8:33pm Girl with a Pearl Earring was such a great book, and it was made into a terrible movie.
