Missing are the set changes in favor of editing to the next scene but the exchanges between the characters feel like they’re on stage rather than trying to emulate life on film. Director Stephen Frears brings it in terms of set design and [...]
Let’s address the Titanic comparisons first. Yes, Leonardo and Kate are again the love interest, this time as Frank and April Wheeler.
