Juliet, Naked
Juliet, Naked
Annie (the long-suffering girlfriend of Duncan) has an unlikely transatlantic romance with once revered, now faded, singer-songwriter, Tucker Crowe, who also happens to be the subject of Duncan's musical obsession.

A very enjoyable film. Rose Byrne and Ethan Hawk and Chris O'Dowd were perfect for their roles in this very compelling film, peeled by talented writer Nick Hornby.
Loved the use of the English (Kent) locations and how the story just blossomed from a ladies cross Atlantic messenging relationship with the muscian, in the States.
A plausible and enjoyable story, skillfully acted and directed.
I hope Nick Hornby was involved with the film! Love his storytelling.

Today, I finished reading "Juliet Naked" (on Kindle) and just had to watch the film, which I found to be a very interesting experience -one which I do recommend.
A faint feeling of familiarity washed over me, as caracters from the book (I'd previously seen in film form) appeared like old friends I kind of knew.
It was fun to spot the inaccuracies and also lots of faithful dialogue, from the book. Then I noticed a wild inaccuracy 'Annie and Duncan' were living in a place called Sandcliff, which turned out to be Broadstairs, in Kent -rather than 'Goolness' as was portrayed in the book.
Anyway, it's a pleasant enough experience to relive (as I did) on my own. Must try it again sometime!
