Letters to juliet3/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Charlie meets cute with Sophie of course, but it is Redgrave who steals the show, with a performance that could be described as away with the fairies – if the fairies had taken out a timeshare on Alpha Centauri.Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan Republic, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Cape Verde Islands, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denmark, Djibouti, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Fiji, Finland, France, Gabon Republic, Gambia, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greece, Greenland, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Latvia, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macau, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Malta, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mexico, Moldova, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Montserrat, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nauru, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Republic of Croatia, Republic of the Congo, Romania, Rwanda, Saint Helena, Saint Kitts-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Turks and Caicos Islands, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vatican City State, Vietnam, Wallis and Futuna, Western Samoa, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe She is accompanied by her dishy-but-pompous hunk of a Brit grandson Charlie, played by Australian star Christopher Egan, whose mangled English accent makes him sound as if his epiglottis has been kidnapped by aliens. Sophie discovers a yellowing old letter written in the 1950s, lost in the brickwork and contacts this unknown correspondent, who then shows up in Italy – now a feisty, impetuous yet life-affirming grandmother (Redgrave), intent on rediscovering her lost Italian amore. She joins the team of women of adorably differing ages, all speaking-a English-a with an Italian-a accent-a, whose job it is to write back to these unhappy souls. Amanda Seyfried plays Sophie, a wholesome young American woman, on a romantic vacation in Verona, in Italy, who finds herself utterly entranced by the local tradition of lovelorn women therapeutically writing letters to Shakespeare's Juliet, and leaving them on the walls of her supposed house. T his cheerfully ridiculous Tuscan-set romcom is notable for a likably, if not quite intentionally mad performance from our own Vanessa Redgrave for sheer loopiness Redgrave may now have topped that stunningly barking Lifetime Bafta acceptance speech she gave in February. ![]()
