	Girl with a Pearl Earring Movie Review - Girl with a Pearl Earring Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		The surface of ''Girl'' is rich with the busy details of life in 1665 Delft, where Vermeer (Colin Firth) struggles to maintain patronage for his art while overseeing a household of wife, mother-in-law, and ever more children (11 survived), and where the 16-year-old Griet toils in anonymous servitude.
		''Girl'' is so static at times that it threatens to turn into a coffee-table book: Eduardo Serra's precise, sensuous photography mimics the angles and light of the Dutch Golden Age, while Alexandre Desplat's score burbles with elegant baroque minimalism.
		There are moments in ''Girl With a Pearl Earring'' when Griet is still, and both the painter and we are suddenly transfixed by the art hidden there.

	GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING
		Girl with a Pearl Earring is this year's version of 2002's Rabbit-Proof Fence — a flick with practically zero story made more than worthwhile for the cinematography alone.
		Earring, which is based on a novel by Tracy Chevalier, invents a story to fill in the numerous blanks around the life of both Vermeer and his famous canvas.
		Earring is set in the 1660s, where 16-year-old Griet (Scarlett Johansson, Lost in Translation) is forced into the working world when her tile-painting father goes blind and can no longer provide the family with money for food and housing.

	Colin Firth in Girl with a Pearl Earring
		Girl with a Pearl Earring is the first feature for director Peter Webber, and what a debut it is! Most freshman filmmakers don't come close to Webber's level of accomplishment, and (not to take anything away from Webber) some of the credit must certainly be parceled out to the cast and the cinematographer, Eduardo Serra.
		Girl With a Pearl Earring' is both an introduction to sex and an introduction to art, which may explain why the novel it is based on has sold 2 million copies thus far.
		Girl With a Pearl Earring at times surrounds itself with an art-gallery hush, but it is just so ambitious, and intriguing, and beautiful, you will find yourself immobile in front of its canvas, drinking in the details.

		Scarlett Johansson says that her Girl With A Pearl Earring co-star Colin Firth gleefully poked fun at her costume, especially since her head was wrapped tightly in a white scarf for the drama.
		In the movie Girl With a Pearl Earring (based on Tracy Chevalier’s fictionalised tale about how Johannes Vermeer was inspired by a scullery maid to paint his masterpiece), Ms Davis has taken the supporting part of Vermeer’s wife Catharina (pictured right, opposite Colin Firth as Vermeer) and turned her into a tortured soul.

	Creating the past in their own self-involved image: Girl with a Pearl Earring
		Girl with a Pearl Earring is an adaptation of the ersatz-historical novel by Tracy Chevalier.
		Patron Van Ruijven gets his “Girl with the Pearl Earring” portrait of the pretty maid, but has been denied access to the emotional process that went into the work’s creation—leaving him in a well-deserved state of unrequited lust.
		The reserved, simple, former servant girl is no longer reserved or simple, having appropriated the artistic restlessness that haunts her mentor—as well as the prized pearl earrings.

	Girl with a Pearl Earring
		Scarlett Johansson breathes life into the "Girl With a Pearl Earring." Adapted from Tracy Chevalier's novel and based on Johannes Vermeer's famous painting, this lushly beautiful film exploits the dynamism in each frame and Eduardo Serra's ("What Dreams May Come") widescreen cinematography is unmatched.
		Though the narrative about a servant girl who becomes Vermeer's subject for the painting has the quality of a lyrical short story, the real bounty of the film lies in constructing a vision of the atmosphere and influences that might have been.
		Her emotional reaction to the servant girl who shares an understanding for his art that she does not is unbearable for her, an understanding gained from Griet's artist father, before an accident that left him blind.

	Reeling: the Movie Review Show's review of Girl with the Pearl Earring
		She keeps to herself, but when a domestic servant's squabble results in her sleeping quarters being moved from the basement to the attic, it is arranged that she should clean Vermeer's studio, an enclave not even his wife is allowed into, as she must go through it to enter the rest of the household.
		It is the artist's eye in the girl that draws the attention of Vermeer himself, and soon he entrusts the girl with mixing his paints, shows her his camera obscura, and draws out of her that the clouds outside are not white, but yellow, red and gray.
		While “Girl with a Pearl Earring” is a solid first entry for its director it is, foremost, a film of stunning visual treatment.

		Girl with a Pearl Earring centres on Vermeer's prosperous household in Delft in the 1660s.

		Not to mention that a pearl is the overpriced ulcer from an irritated oyster.

		The task of writing the score for Girl With a Pearl Earring fell to Frenchman Alexandre Desplat, a composer who is probably unfamiliar to many North American score fans, but who has enjoyed a successful career in Europe with scores such as "Un Héros Très Descret", "Sur Mes Lèvres" and "The Luzhin Defence".
		The exquisite touch Desplat brings to his score for Girl with a Pearl Earring is both surprising, and is very welcome, especially to a review who has had his fill of drum-beat action scores and the onset of electronica.
