Reviews for The Object of Beauty
Dull romantic comedy, whose emptiness and not too likable protagonists keep things static.
Unfolding as a comedy of manners and a morality tale, the film is not preachy and there is no suggestion of redemption. The text may be slight but it's imbued with ambiguity--and entertaining too.
Witty comedy of manners about the gap between the worlds of rich Americans and a lonely hotel maid in London.
