Oh, and since you can't cope with all these feelings, you come here straight away and hand those feelings over to the rest of us. Nice job!
But no, seriously... isn't he just heartbreakingly and drop-dead gorgeous...?

Still can't believe that there were times when I thought that he just was... ok... (?????)

Yep. Sometimes it just takes a little longer to realize... well, you know.

I adore his acting... nothing more... of course...

But once you have realised it there is no way back.

Exhausting... especially if you have to stay calm in public...

I would have taken some tools and cut out a certain part to take home with me.

There are enough posters like that in London to serve each of us

Good review

"For my money, though, the best and most nuanced performances are those delivered by Julianne Nicholson, Benedict Cumberbatch and Chris Cooper, as the tale’s most tragic victims. "

Wish this would open in Atlanta already!

Benedict's phone interview with Rock 100.5 station. The guy is quite desperately trying to get his questions squeezed in.

Here's The New York Times review:

This is what it says about Ben's performance: Benedict Cumberbatch, as a delicate cousin known as Little Charles, blinks his eyes and struggles with his accent.

Aahh, I'm holding the German press kit in my hands right now, and there are only three actors portrayed on a double page: Streep, Roberts and Mister Cumberbatch. Interesting. Very interesting. And very nice.

They know a good thing when they see it.

I watched this last night and really enjoyed it.I thought Julia Roberts was brilliant. BC part was only small, but as we know he doesnt need loads of lines to portray a character
There were LOL,gasps, tears and OMG moments. I recommend a viewing.
Has anyone else seen this yet?

Really looking forward to it. But we have to wait until 6th of March in Germany. And then hopefully catch it in the original version somewhere.

I've just seen it, really enjoyed it but it was quite a sad tale.

None of the characters were particularly likeable, apart from ivy and little Charles, and his dad.

Ben was wonderful, he didn't get much air time but he stole the show when he was on screen. He was the only person to show heart, compassion and love. And without giving it away, I felt so sad for him.

Him singing too.....
