strong performances by Edward Norton & Naomi Watts
A moving story, beautiful cinematography!

More moving than its beautiful cinematography, Norton's and Watt's splendid performances work well with a captivating story of lust and love, betrayal and forgiveness, and selfishness turned to self-giving. Superbly crafted, 'Painted Veil' is complete with a heart-melting beauty for the soul as well as for the eyes.
tpv submitted by a2sue on August 25, 2013, 3:09pm this movie was so awful! typically i love anything edward norton does, but this was the exception. just skip the painted veil!
Beautiful submitted by a2_bookworm on July 23, 2015, 12:06pm Beautiful adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's novel
Great Unknown submitted by LibraryLiz on July 23, 2016, 4:32pm For a movie with such powerhouse actors as Naomi Watts and Edward Norton with the added bonus of a great love story, I'm surprised I don't hear about this movie more often. A classic tale of two opposites who come together, watching how they grow in love is truly beautiful and the setting is definitely unique. Set in a cholera epidemic in China, there's definitely perils the couple must face - but cholera isn't the biggest one. If you're in the mood for a dramatic romance, check out The Painted Veil.
