Plot: Meg Richman made her feature directorial debut with this modernization of Henry James' Wings of the Dove, set in Seattle where musician Cynthia (Molly Parker) breaks up with drug-addict Buck (Aden Young). After Cynthia answers an ad for a live-in caretaker, she meets Eleanor Dunston (Joely Richardson), who is dying of cancer. The two becomes friends, despite Cynthia's obvious envy of Eleanor's life of luxury at her large estate. Realizing that she still loves Buck, she introduces him to Eleanor as her half-brother, and he gets work as a gardener on the grounds. Observing Eleanor's interest in Buck, she moves to manipulate the situation and has the reluctant Buck begin a relationship with Eleanor. Made for telecasting by Showtime, this feature was shown at the 1998 Sundance film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Very engaging
Added 10/10/2001

I rented this movie on a whim and was delighted to find I'd stumbled upon one of the best films I'd seen in quite some time. I loved the way the story followed the growth of the three central characters, and how profoundly (and interestingly) they changed as a result of their lives colliding. The main love scene was emotionally moving, very unconventional, and HOT! I cried my way through a half box of Kleenex by the time this movie was over, got up the next morning, and watched it all over again. Seeing it twice made me realize what a simple, yet rich, film it really is--a rare achievement nowadays. I highly recommend it.

Lush modernisation of classic
Added 9/10/2000

A lush modern take on the Henry James novel Wings of the Dove. Joely Richardson and Aden Young create enough chemistry to believe their feelings for each other. Beautiful to watch and enagaging enough to keep your interest. Aden Young deserves his career to rocket.

exquisite
Added 6/27/2000

a visually gorgeous, well-crafted film, with -- above all -- amazing dramatic performances by molly parker and joely richardson. these characters are incredibly real and sympathetic, and a provocative moral twist at the end of their story gets you thinking.

Wonderful film
Added 1/22/2000

It is a shame that we didn't get a chance to see this movie in the theatres. That was a really big mistake. This movie really surprised me. All I can really say about it is please check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
