Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Midnight in the Garden of Less isnt More This movie is basically a great travelogue for fans of The Book. It lacks the quirky whimsicality that Berendt so wonderfully wrote about. Cusack is woefully miscast as the New York writer sent to Savannah to write a party review. Fans of Kevin Spacey should love his dead on performance. His Jim Williams is perfect. Jude Law makes a breif but memeorable turn as bad boy/murder victim Billy Hansen. And of course, the Lady Chablis steals every scene she is in. If you love the book, you should see this film, mainly because practically every scene is shot exactly where it happened in reality. Savannah is a beautiful town and it holds up the best in Easstwood's rather boring adaptation. Because much of the book's subplots were left out, this would have made a great mini-series. Rating: - A timeless piece of eccentric south I have lived in the south all my life. Watching this movie reminded me of how beautiful and special this place is. Clint Eastwood's interpretation of John Berendt's piece of literary art was splendid in its own right. It reminded me of how rich our heritage is. The music, the superb casting (no one can deny the talent of the great Kevin Spacey) and the seemingly endless parade of characters kept me enthralled from the beginning. It's not often a film can pull at my heartstrings, teach me something about tolerance and history, reveal such beauty and amuse me at the same time. The movie so moved me that I read the book. Although somewhat different, each form was intriguing. I have just returned from Savannah. I was constantly reminded of the story of Jim Williams as I walked the squares and felt the history therein. This filmed turned attention once again to a wonderful magical place, the South. Rating: - Very good film, even better DVD Clint Eastwood has made a beautiful-looking film, which is fortunate since Savannah is one of the most beautiful places in the US. And while the plotting of the story isn't quite bulletproof, the characters are so fascinating that you'll want to follow them anywhere. Lady Chablis is a casting coup, and I can't imagine the movie existing without her. She gives the movie a depth that is necessary to accompany the beautiful scenery. John Cusack is great as usual, Kevin Spacey has a nasty good time (think Tommy Lee Jones in JFK), and Broadway veteran Dorothy Loudon (Annie, Ballroom) make a welcome appearance as Serena Dawes. As for the DVD extras, they make this package a must-buy. The documentaries and biographies about the real-life people and situations that inspired the story, as well as the making of the movie, are great viewing. They also make the experience of watching the movie even more enjoyable. Watch the film, then watch the extras. Then read the book. And then, buy an airplane ticket to Savannah and make your own adventure. You won't be sorry!
