Everything about 'Hilary and Jackie' was beautiful. The music, the portrayal of the sister's close friendship since childhood, the two versions of the story all created a mosaic of Jacqueline du Pre's life. Probably the best aspect of the movie was the Elgar cello concerto, which was played during different scenes of the film. It was Jacqueline's best-known work, and it's only fitting that it was used the way it was, making a bittersweet and melancholy tale. I loved it and highly recommend it.

Everything about this film was first-rate. Franka Potente is perfect as Lola and comes across very realistically as a girl doing everything you can think of to save her boyfriend's life. The music was great as well, adding to the high-energy of the movie (though at times the techno did seem repetitive) The four different prospective turn-outs were very interesting and really make you think just how differently things can happen in the same amount of time. Definitely worth YOUR time.

'Morocco' is definitely Marlene's best film. Most of her acting is done without even using words-she didn't have to. Her mannerisms and facial expressions say it all. Her singing, while mediocre, fits the style perfectly and you forget that she was never trained as a vocalist. Everything about this movie just falls into place. An over-looked film classic.
