Film Review: This movie shows the lives of many women, the plot of the movie is well developed, not old-fashioned at all, the ending is very exciting, if you like independent movies, this movie will satisfy you, from showing the life of a middle-aged woman, reflecting a lot of women in life and family who are trapped like her, this movie describes these emotions very well, and she doesn't clearly state it, it is more artistic, independent in terms of script and direction, this is a movie worth watching.
2. The film "The New Madame Bovary", a French drama film directed by Anne Fontaine in 2014, starring Gemma Arterton, Jason Fleming, Elsa Zebestein and others.
The movie tells the story of Jenma and her husband Charlie who have been married for many years, the two live in a gentle and simple town, the days pass slowly in peace, Charlie is a carpenter with a very introverted personality, and Jenma is a painter, although Charlie takes good care of Jenma on weekdays, cares for her, but Jenma's heart always longs for feelings as fierce as a storm.
Film review: Director Anne Fontaine's film has a good balance between comedy and drama, leaning towards the latter, and although the final effect is more like a fluffy candy than a heavyweight entrée, the film is still funny; Gemma Artleton's brilliant performance in the lead role keeps the film consistent, and despite her infidelity, her wandering lover remains a compassionate character, while the fertile French countryside is well cinematized, a classic masterpiece.
3. The film "Tamara Drew", a film comedy directed by Stephen Frey in 2010, starring Gemma Arterton, Luke Evans, Dominic Cooper and others.
The movie tells the story of a beautiful plastic surgery beauty Tamara Drew in a small village in England, she used to grow up here, and now she has been out for many years, and she also gave her natural big nose plastic surgery and became a young journalist, she only went to sell the house left by her mother, but when the once big nose appeared in front of everyone with such a beautiful image, the quiet village suddenly fluctuated.
Review: A great independent film that can be classified as a black comedy, full of characters of all kinds, full of deception, betrayal, pain, and irony; Gemma Arterton plays the main character who is at the center of the story, and she has just had a great performance in Alice in Wonderland, which is a completely different film, she has a lot of acting talent, and the supporting cast is also great, and it is worth watching an early Gemma Arterton movie.
