Hope Springs Review
21:26:00
Hello My Lovely's,
I absolutely loved this film. It was unbelievable cute and
the characters portrayals were so beautifully made out.
'Hope Springs' focuses on the relationship between Kay and
Arnold Soames, played by Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones, as they reach a
crisis in their relationship.
Upon reaching their 31st wedding anniversary Kay feels that
the couple have lost their special touch causing her to believe that they need
help. After much convincing the pair end up going to an intense marriage counselling
programme to try and repair the lost spark between them through the help of Dr
Bernie Feld portrayed by the hilarious Steve Carell.
The film had many serious moments that made me want to cry
but the comedic adventure the pair embark on was funny to me as it seemed Dr
Feld was trying to produce a teenage relationship between a very mature couple.
Streep was on top form as her much likeable character who is
hilarious throughout the scenes of the pair in the cinema as she tries to give
him a blow job, as well as looking for the sex tips book in the bookstore. It is almost impossible to beat Streep and
this performance just shows how she hasn't changed at all in her expert ways of
acting.
I feel very similar to the way in which Tommy Lee Jones is
portrayed. I must admit that I have only ever seen him in 'Men in Black'.
However his sweet portrayal of trying to make his wife happy is just so lovely
to see in a male portrayal, that my respect for him as an actor rises very high
in this film.
It was also good to see Carell in a serious role for a
change as he portrayed the caring therapist who didn't want to give up on the
pair until they truly felt their love for each other again.
Overall the film was a beautiful portrayal of an older
couple in love who just didn't understand their emotions towards each other. It
was so special to see how not all relationships are happy throughout and the
fact that the pair couldn't cope with out each other added something astounding
to the film.
This film is getting the whole...
5 Stars
Until Next Time,
