	Review: Guinevere (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		(The film's title refers to Connie's nickname for Harper, which he bestows upon her during their first encounter.) For her, it's love at first sight, and, when she requests that he not photograph her ("I don't like to be looked at"), he contrives to find ways to get her out of all the group shots.
		Throughout Guinevere, Polley breathes life and spontaneity into her character, and we are granted the opportunity to see Harper's transition from a naïve, uncertain girl to a confident young woman.
		Other than that, Guinevere is a successful feature debut for Audrey Welles in her behind-the-camera capacity and an opportunity for Sarah Polley to display the full range of her considerable acting ability.

	Film Scouts Reviews: Guinevere
		In "Guinevere", a little gem of a character study written and directed by Audrey Wells ("The Truth About Cats and Dogs"), Harper Sloane (Sarah Polley) is an unformed virginal girl of twenty from a well-off San Francisco family in which everyone becomes a lawyer.
		Sandra Oh is hilarious as "Cindy," the Guinevere that precedes Harper, and Jean Smart as Harper's mother is particularly biting when she shows up unexpectedly at Connie's loft and confronts the couple.
		What makes "Guinevere" so appealing is that the film is not so much about a clichéd May-December romance as it is about the nature of love and learning, forgiveness and the resilience of the heart.

	Political Film Society - King Arthur
		The film begins in 452, when the Sarmatians are to be released from their military service, presumably in order to claim a generous pension in affluent Rome as free men.
		Boadicea is the British warrior maiden (not Guinevere), who lived four centuries earlier, according to a legend that will soon be celebrated in yet another film.
		As for the glimmerings of democracy, the film's Arthur evidently entertains inchoate notions about the separation of church and state, political and ethnic equality, and something called freedom.

	Richard III Society--Wood Symposium, Kevin Harty
		Films about Arthur have concentrated on several predictable themes: the quest for the Grail, the idea that Arthur is once and future king, and the Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot love triangle.
		But the objection that Arthur is too old and the triangle therefore unbalanced by the younger Guinevere and Lancelot seems to me based on the idea that Arthur and the members of his court should be a certain age.
		The British ITV 1991 version of the poem directed by John Michael Phillips, however, decided that the court of Camelot should be peopled by an array of younger members, further to emphasize the greenness of the Round Table in yet another sense of the word.

	Guinevere
		It's the kind of film that people love or hate, depending to a great degree on their age and gender.
		Films rated below five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film - this score is roughly equivalent to one and a half stars from the critics or a D on our scale.
		Any film rated C- or better is recommended for fans of that type of film.

		Black-and-white Disney film about a clever cat and two dogs who embark on a long and perilous journey through the wilderness to find their humans, who have stupidly managed to become lost.
		Disney film, directed by Don Chaffey, about the bonds of love between a cat and her human girl, who is the daughter of a dastardly widowed veterinarian (Guinevere insists that all veterinarians are dastardly!).

	Guinevere
		With only two developed characters, the imbalance in age that is the subject of the film becomes an imbalance in the movie that spins it out of control.
		A love story needs two, though, and with the premise that the younger girl is an empty slate to be drawn upon, there is a real danger that her character on the screen will not have equal weight in interest or complexity.
		The solo dance sequence in Connie's studio, for example, seems intended to express the flowering of the woman as she has grown in confidence with her new affair, but the dance is obviously professionally choreographed and is totally lacking in any sense of spontaneity that would give it charm and conviction.

		At the heart of the film, Polley - with her wary, unsure stares, her open smile and beguiling intelligence - is terrific.
		"Guinevere" doesn't want to be that edgy, but the premise that a young girl finds love outside her family with an older man, recalls the made-for-TV-movie about child exploitation, "Fallen Angel", in which both films feature the taking of nude photographs.
		But, if so the films gains from a degree of genuine involvment and loses by lack of proper distance between artist and the subject that might have lent it a more rational perspective.

	: Guinevere - DVD film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		But she is devastating right about Connie and that is why this film does not work for me. I have no problem with the idea that a story about an artist who goes through a series of young women who act as his muses and protÃ©gÃ©s.
		The most demonstrative talent Connie shows in the film is to (euphemism warning) make her extremely happy while she is still dressed (okay, not so much a euphemism as being extremely vague).
		I also have a problem with the idea that given a choice between Jean Smart and Sarah Polley (abstracted to the general level of a woman in her forties versus a woman in her twenties) the choice is obvious, and that would be because I know what the former has that the latter does not.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Guinevere" review (1999)
		"Guinevere" is a perceptive story of self-discovery, starring the supremely natural Sarah Polley ("Go," "The Sweet Hereafter") as an unmolded, insecure, 20-year-old beauty whose complex, turbulent, sexual and artistic apprentice with a much older man (Stephen Rea) uncages her creative side and her confidence, long suppressed by her dysfunctional, passionless family.
		Taking the initiative for the first time in her life, Harper (Polley) abandons her familial tradition of studying law at Harvard after being tenderly seduced by a photographer at a wedding, who recognizes potential in her that no one else has ever seen.
		It's a scene that could easily have been one big cliche, but its flawlessly written and acted as she nails him with a single word and topples his carefully maintained self-delusions.

	Xiibaro Reviews: Guinevere, Stuart Little, The Straight Story, Ride with the Devil, and Last Night
		Such is the case with both Babe films and The Iron Giant, films that went beyond a simple family film by having a good story (in The King and I's defense, it had a good story, but the altogether mess of its poor animation and horrendous subplots kept it from doing anything with the story).
		The film is the true story of Alvin Straight (Farnsworth), an elderly Iowa resident that cannot drive due to his poor hips and failing eyes.
		The characters in this film range from the near intriguing (the Bujold character could have been enjoyable if more time was spent on her) to the absurd (the sex-hungry Rennie character is about as interesting as Jar Jar Binks).

		Guinevere is the second cinematic effort from Wells (the first being The Truth about Cats and Dogs) and her most Harlequin.
		Throughout most of the film, Polley as Harper Sloane suffocates under the oppressive dominance of her mother, an unhappy and stereotypical bourgeois mother.
		Filmed mostly in Los Angeles, cinematographer Charles Minsky captured the city's combination of grit and glamour.

	SCREEN IT! ARTISTIC REVIEW: GUINEVERE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Just as occurs in a scene from "Guinevere," a romantic drama focusing on the old May/December romance, many people -- upon seeing such a couple -- often stop and wonder exactly what causes a younger woman to date and/or marry a man occasionally old enough to be her father and sometimes even her grandfather.
		Winner of the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at his year's Sundance Film Festival (with the picture also earning a nomination for the Grand Jury Prize), the film is also a coming of age story, albeit unusually told from a young woman's point of view.
		Although the film may not answer everyone's questions about the May/December liaison to a satisfying degree, it creates two complex characters who are more than compelling enough to give viewers some additional insight into what motivates both parties in such a relationship.

		GUINEVERE TURNER SPLASHED onto the independent-film scene in 1994 with Go Fish, the critically acclaimed story of lesbian life and love, which she co-produced, co-wrote, and starred in.
		Since then, she’s made a name in the indie world as a writer and actor, appearing in Chasing Amy, Dogma, cult favorite Preaching to the Perverted, and American Psycho (for which she also co-wrote the screenplay with director Mary Harron).
		In indie film in particular, if you commit to doing something, you’re going to work really hard, you’re not gonna get paid a lot of money, and everybody’s gonna cry at some point.

	The romance in 'Guinevere' is baffling, not racy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Though "Guinevere" won raves at the Sundance Film Festival for what some viewed as a "racy" theme, the film is hardly provocative.
		The film provides only a glimpse into why a man twice the age of his young lover is so willing to be with a person who is, for the most part, unformed.
		Every Guinevere that Connie has ever seduced still likes the guy no matter how he mistreated her, and their lives seem to have fallen ridiculously by the wayside after they leave him.

		Bruckheimer, during the Q and A after the film, emphasized that he was trying to find an actor to play the role of Arthur, rather than trying to cast the film based on star power.
		The marketing of the film portrayed it as a gritty action film, as it is in the uncut version, but perhaps that also led to its undoing.
		For as much effort that went into the making of this film, it must be gratifying to those who made it to be able to see this longer and uncut version.

		Only Guinevere carries through, as its fifty-something guy, Connie (reliable Stephen Rea), and twenty-year old female, Harper (radiant Sarah Polley), not only screw but, for a precarious time, live together.
		Harper's epiphany comes early in Guinevere: dolling up for her sister's society wedding, she notes identical pearls about the necks of her mother, sister, herself.
		Guinevere's savvy writer-director Audrey Wells doesn't need to spell out that Connie's little painter-photographer-writer colony are repeating conversations that went out in the '50s with the Cedar Tavern.

		Second, traditional films have usually portrayed Guinevere as a minor character who is easily swayed by men; a woman without fortitude, guts, or commitment.
		Through this film, it became clear that what Arthur, Guinevere and Camelot really represented was our historic, spiritual search for the Garden of Eden, our search for real parents, and our vision of the world in which we wish to live.
		In this version, Guinevere somehow senses that she must be pure and loyal to her marriage.

		And there is also Guinevere, a love story, a film about an often unexplored aspect of emotional and sexual attraction: the lover as mentor.
		The films holds its tone until almost to the end, when there is a misjudged fantasy sequence as Connie dies and all his Guineveres gather to farewell him.

	A Disarming `Guinevere' / Polley superb in coming-of-age film that avoids teen movie cliches
		In ``Guinevere,'' which opens today, Audrey Wells captures that moment in a young woman's life when anything is possible.
		``Guinevere'' stars the luminous Sarah Polley as Harper Sloane, a college student bound for Harvard Law School, whose life gets turned around when she meets Cornelius Fitzpatrick (Stephen Rea), the rumpled, middle-aged Irish photographer who shoots her sister's wedding.
		Like ``Dogfight,'' the exquisite 1991 film that starred Lili Taylor as a '60s folksinger in love with River Phoenix, ``Guinevere'' is a quiet character drama that illustrates the fragility of early love and the pain of a trust betrayed.
