Winter's Tale





"Winter's Tale" is a fantasy movie in the world of Nardia. It is a complex story on one level and simple on the other. The overriding story is of LOVE.  It is of a man who is a thief who stumbles across a wealthy young lady who is dying.  It is also the world of guardian angels and demons. The angel is in the form of a white horse that can spout wings and fly.  The demon: Russell Crowe and by the way the devil is Will Smith.

This is a story that spans over 100 years and is very enjoyable  and was perfect for Valentine's Day.

Colin Farrell is great as the lovable thief and Jessica Brown-Findlay shows that there is life after Downton Abbey. Other great actors include William Hurt and Jennifer Connelly.

The old good versus evil story plays well here.

I give it ***stars.  2014 movie #9
