	Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel
		Guinevere is the Lady of Leonesse, which seems to a be a village a gallop away from King Arthur's Camelot.
		He's kind to Guinevere and repeatedly ready to free her from the planned marriage, but she too is nice and won't hear of it.
		Guinevere is attracted to both Arthur and Lancelot, to the first Freudianly, because he is a surrogate father (Connery is 65), to the second because...

	Guinevere (1999). Movie reviews by Dr. Edwin Jahiel.
		The movie is, in part, about Harper's belated (she'll be 21 in a few months) coming of age.
		It is a bohemian affair, in which the various types seem to be as dull and stereotyped as the buttoned-up bourgeois.
		Guinevere is the name the photographer gives all his mistresses.

	Review: Guinevere
		Guinevere is a smartly written, often insightful female coming of age movie.
		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.

		Arthur and Guinevere met for the first time when he rescued her from where she had been held prisoner by the Roman family.
		Guinevere was very different from how I have seen her portrayed before.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Guinevere
		At least in the case of Guinevere the perpetrator is a female, the writer of the most excellent The Truth About Cats and Dogs, Audrey Wells.
		Wells makes her directorial debut with Guinevere, which is a straight romance without any of the gentle humor found in Cats and Dogs.
		Guinevere is just an OK flick for the indie arthouse circuit.

	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: KING ARTHUR
		After Lancelot tells Guinevere that there are lots of lonely men out there (referring to the approaching Saxons), she jokingly replies that she won't let them rape him (some viewers might not like a joke being made about that matter).
		We see Guinevere wearing a skimpy battle outfit that consists of two small leather straps that go across and just under her breasts (we see the top of her breasts and cleavage).
		Why Guinevere is dressed in skimpy/revealing attire while charging into battle, whereas all of the men are in thick leather or armor to protect them.

	Movie Spoiler for the film - KING ARTHUR
		The movie starts with a very brief text of King Arthur's legend; telling us how Arthur and his knights are from a group from the east that was defeated by the Romans.
		The Romans took pity on the few that were left alive, but in turn, the sons of those left alive would have to serve for Rome for 15 years; it then shows a boy Lancelot riding to meet with the rest of the Romans and the other sons who'd been taken.
		Guinevere fights Cynric, Lancelot sees that she's not doing good (and he knows that Arthur loves her) and goes to step in, kicks Cynric's butt knocking him to the ground but is distracted long enough for Cynric to grab nearby bow and arrow.

	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.
		Wells seems prone to forcing her actors out of character from time to time without realizing it, and she passes on a perfect opportunity to roll the credits, opting instead to tack on a laughable closing fantasy sequence that doesn't fit the film in any way, shape or form.
		That scene alone prevents the movie from being extraordinary, but it can't erase the frank, ardent story telling, the affection the characters inspire and the great, great performances.

	Guinevere Movie, Review, Cast for Guinevere \| TVGuide.com
		We're so used to movies that nonchalantly pair young women and much older men, then go on to tell stories about something else entirely, that it's genuinely jarring see one that's actually about the relationship, in this case between a teenager and a middle-aged sot.
		Harvard-bound Harper Sloane (Sarah Polley) feels invisible; her wealthy, embittered parents and accomplished older sister — all lawyers — are wrapped up in some vaguely Oedipal wrangle, and there's no place for her in the...

	Amazon.com: Guinevere (1999): Video: Sarah Polley,Stephen Rea,Jean Smart,Gina Gershon,Paul Dooley,Carrie Preston,Tracy ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The movie is clear-eyed about the situation: Connie isn't idealized, and is in many ways a creepy older man, neurotic and self-aggrandizing, but he also offers a kind of emotional support that Harper has never had.
		Guinevere lapses too easily and too often into that dreaded situation of "too much of a good thing", and ends up beating many of its own strengths to death.
		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.

	Guinevere Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Guinevere may be a gem, but has a few flaws.
		Despite these problems, Guinevere succeeds as a touching tale of lost love and personal development, examining the dynamic ups and downs of romance with refreshing honesty.
		Best of all, Guinevere captures the frailty of the human spirit, whether in a young college grad seeking a future or a burnt-out, middle-aged artist searching for life's meaning.

	WISH-TV: News and Weather for Indianapolis, Indiana - Review: King Arthur - Dull & Boring
		The movie opens in 452 where a young Lancelot is being taken away from his family and forced into serving the Roman Empire in Britain.
		When this project was first announced, reports had the movie going for a hard R rating, in order to pump up the realism of the film.
		The best thing about this movie is its slight bit of comic relief, courtesy of Ray Winstone ("Sexy Beast") as Bors, a man who numbers his children instead of naming them because it's easier.

	Salon Movie Review \| "Guinevere"
		And the movie can't chart the blurring of that tricky line where Connie's attempt to spur Harper on to greater confidence in her own opinions becomes bullying.
		In "Guinevere," as in her script for "The Truth About Cats and Dogs," Wells mines the comedy of female insecurity without being particularly sympathetic to women.
		The movie feels slack, unfocused (though to be fair, she does show some loose-limbed ability in the sequence of Harper's surprise 21st birthday party, and a later scene where all of Connie's "protegees" meet for dinner).

	King Arthur Movie at Movie-Source.com - Movie Review and/or Movie Preview
		Movie Review (C) The director of Training Day and the most popular producer of all time have teamed up to give us what the previews claim is a "historically accurate" portrayal of King Arthur, his knights and Guinevere.
		What was most frustrating about this movie is that the creators of this movie go to such lengths to try to trick us into thinking that what we are watching is a true story, while we all know that there is very little water under the bridge.
		I have no problem seeing Guinevere (the movie never explains whether she is a princess or any kind of royalty) shooting a bow and arrow, but when she dons her absolutely dreadful war gear and starts killing men by the dozens with a sword, I had to scoff.

	MJ Movie Reviews - King Arthur (2004) by Joshua Sandefur
		Lines like this one (spoken to Guinevere as a large Saxon army approaches and obviously played for laughs) add a humorous, redeeming quality to this movie and almost save it from the fate of the average, mediocre summer film...almost.
		I think this movie was doomed the second Clive Owen was cast as the lead, as the guy is just boring and the most uninspiring leader I've ever seen.
		The movie was filmed in Ireland, and the snowy mountains and foggy forests provide the perfect atmosphere, given the nature of the film.

		It's a real hingsty movie, Keira as always is the most goodlooking woman in the world, and as always a hingst, and the battle scenes are really hingstiga.

		She is terrific in every scene she is in and the fortune cookie scene is fantastic.

	Pale May-December love of "Guinevere' inspires crocodile tears
		AUDREY WELLS' debut directorial feature, "Guinevere," is a love story so implausibly dainty that when its San Fran heroine is sent packing from her older boyfriend / mentor's Embarcadero loft and back to the slums of Pacific Heights, you'll want to shed a crocodile tear.
		Sarah Polley, making the most of a girl underwritten, is Harper Stone, a 20-year-old loner who scraps her Harvard Law plans to take up with Connie, a creepy Irish photog (Stephen Rea) of a certain age.
		Gershon plays the sour-grapes painter who's seen Connie's moves before and tries to warn Harper: She too was once a Guinevere, which as it turns out is a round-table of sexy Mays to Rea's rumpled December.

	The Louisville Scene - Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		He shoots pictures as Harper guzzles too much champagne, and he terms her his "Guinevere," though we learn later that there's a stable of predecessors to whom he has attached the same name.
		The movie deals primarily with Harper's personal growth, which comes about in part from her having to care for a boozing basket case who's 30 years her senior and not exactly spending time with workout videos (unless it's a Dylan Thomas workout video).
		The movie tries to show how both parties get something out of the relationship, though we're never quite sure how Harper becomes the more mature person she appears to be at the end.

	Guinevere
		Everywhere you turn, a movie comes out that teams a middle-aged actor with an actress that's half his age.
		Written and directed by Audrey Wells, "Guinevere" finally addresses the age issue with stellar performances across the board.
		Situations are conveniently set up in order for Polley to drop her law school plans, move in with Rea, and take up photography.

		The soundtrack is appalling; all through the movie the sound intrudes with the nonstop clancking of armour and a single horse neighing over and over and over again in the background, the same horse, the same neighs.
		At the centre of this film stands the love between Guinevere and Lancelot, sublimely represented in the film: Guinevere waits for Lancelot's return in silence, and suffers for her love of him.
		The last scene of the movie, in which Lancelot, dying, says only one word: "Guinevre" (French version of Guinevere), stays with the viewer forever.

	GUINEVERE movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
		His relationship with his most recent discovery is at the center of Guinevere, written and directed by Audrey Wells.
		Despite Rea's sly blarney and hangdog deadpan and the self-deprecating effervescence of Polley's Harper, Guinevere is slight stuff indeed.
		This is a film that wants to trade on dreamy schoolgirl romanticism, but lacks either the essence or the wit to turn it into anything substantial.

	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.
		Movies about young women on the cusp of adulthood aren't that rare -- Winona Ryder used to make a couple each year -- but movies that understand them as well as ``Guinevere,'' and that tell their stories with intelligence and compassion, are.
		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.

		Guinevere has been working on several projects since The L Word and is making “Go Fish 2”, which will be called, “Go f* yourself.” When she was working on the first movie she was very young and none of them expected the movie** to be successful.
		The main reason for the success, Guin thinks, is the idea that she talked there about everything she knew, it was not to make money but to make lesbians visible.
		I can only imagine what it would be like to spend some time with her one–on-one and to hear more of her behind the scenes stories on acting, directing, and producing.

		Forget the Guinevere you think you know, the mythic queen of Camelot breaking hearts in a flowing gown.

	Guinevere, Lady of Camelot
		Inspired by watching, once again, the movie "First Knight", I have based the storyline on that of the movie.
		A bittersweet tale of love and romance, depsite her betrothal and love for the King, Lady Guinevere found Lancelot (not yet a knight) charming and handsome, and he evoked in her feelings she didn't know existed until she lay in his arms after he rescued her from a fate worse than death.
		I do not know the complete or true history of the legend of King Arthur, Lady Guinevere and Sir Lancelot, and many Arthurians would probably correct me on some of my points, but this poem is in fact a love story ~ a romantic tale of a love that could never be.
