Customer Reviews of Dreaming of Joseph Lees - Vip Lease
Wonderful film! This movie is great. At some point in a relationship everyone has to make the decision - do I love this person? This film explores that question in depth. If you have ever truly loved someone and yet the relationship was impossible - this is a movie for you. This is a dramatic movie with real characters that make the movie seem very real.
A powerful, romantic, must-see film
The story is old, and has been told before, but this time is told in a beautiful and refreshing way. Eva (played beautifully by Samantha Morton) is a young woman torn between the distant cousin she has loved since childhood, Joseph Lees (a wonderfully romantic performance by Rupert Graves), and the affection and responsibility she feels for Harry, who has wooed her for years with a love bordering on obsession.
When she finally chooses to follow her heart with Joseph, Harry's obsession turns self-destructive and emotionally twisted, thus bringing out the responsibility Eva feels for him. The film grows slightly dark at this point, but never loses sight of the romantic side - the light at the end of the tunnel.
The cinematography is wonderful and strikingly real, and the actors are all at their best - particularly Lee Ross, who as Harry carries off the vulnerability, obsession, and slight madness with astonishing skill. But by far the most interesting part of the movie is the end, which leaves the viewer to make up their own mind as to how the story ends.
This film grabs you from the very beginning and never lets you go.
A moving and wonderful film, beautiful acting
Eva's love for her second cousin Joseph Lees, resides deep within her. Her psyche reverts to daydreams of his uncertain present life in all her quiet moments. Meanwhile, Eva is enticed by her own unmistakable desire for a persistant young man named Harry. Eva makes hasty decisions and allows herself to begin a relationship with Harry. She settles for an imperfect attachment, and then when circumstances reacquaint her with the object of her dreams, she's forced to not only see her choice is not at all simple, but also to realize why her too hurried and mistaken decision to move in with Harry was unwise. Samantha Morten embodies Eva perfecly. Her mental grappling with facing the error of her choices is shown in her raw anguish. She is the spirit of heartwrenching desperation, then later uncertain conviction. I have yet to watch this film and not feel deep pain as Eva struggles to gain composure, when realizing she's just said goodbye to her dreams and must face her reality. It's a beautiful story that tells what a danger naivete' can be. Somehow it even encompasses those moments when happiness is destroyed just by opening the wrong door. I personally applaud Samantha Morten, she's a tremendous actress.
