Letters to Juliet

Rent & Buy
An American girl on vacation in Italy finds an unanswered "letter to Juliet" -- one of thousands of missives left at the fictional lover's Verona courtyard, which are typically answered by the "secretaries of Juliet" -- and she goes on a quest to find the lovers referenced in the letter.
What critics thought
Critics were split down the middle on this sun-drenched Italian romance — nearly everyone agreed Vanessa Redgrave elevates the material, but opinions diverged sharply on whether that's enough to carry a film saddled with bland leads and a predictable plot. Audiences responded far more warmly than critics, suggesting the film lands differently depending on your appetite for earnest, unchallenging escapism.
“Letters to Juliet loses on all counts. It's not a comedy. It's barely romantic, and even the scenery looks filtered through a couple dozen attempts at post-production color timing (no nation is this…golden).”
Bill Gibron·PopMatters
“elegant, clear-eyed and nurturing”
