Graderings en resensies

Es un film con alcances profundos por su metalenguaje encriptado en el sujeto que cautiva a Mary, del que no sabemos si es un corrupto aristrócrata o una hipóstasis del mal. Mary aprenderá que la vida a la que ascendió no valía la pena. Su cautivador es también simbolo de la ambición y en definitiva del mal, o del capitalismo. Las actuaciones son extraordinarias, Maggie Smith insuperable y tras ella todo el electo. Dirección espectacular, los primeros planos develan con crudeza las pasiones, etc

I seen this film a few years ago and watching it made me feel a little uneasy, but the story is so compelling I couldn't stop watching until the end. I highly recommend Capturing Mary if your tired of ho hum films and like something a little more challenging and may very well haunt you long after you see it. Writer/director Stephen Poliakoff is brilliant as is the actors who delivered the goods on their end as they say.

Intrigued by the trailer and watched the movie. It is enthralling and Maggie Smith is excellent!
