was immediately intrigued into seeing Loving Miss Hatto after being stunned by Housewife 49, penned also by Victoria Wood, the previous year. And I like both Alfred Molina and Francesca Annis very much, and love classical music. In the way that The Girl- the BBC Hitchcock biopic- was the biggest disappointment, Loving Miss Hatto was one of the highlights of the festive season. I found it very moving, insightful and impeccably acted on the whole. Both of the timezones depicted- 1950s and early 2000s- were realised beautifully and evocatively and the photography is controlled and unobtrusive. The music is really wonderful stuff, Rachmaninov and Chopin especially, and utilised here appropriately and very beautifully played, particularly the Chopin Etude which gave the drama a haunting but poignant note. consulta medico pediatra medico doctor dermatologo veterinario veterinario lawyer consulta abogado abogado abogado abogado abogado psicologo doctor psicologo abogado abogado I wasn't familiar with the story prior to watching, but my dad did say it was big news. That didn't matter as whether or not I found that to be the case I found it compellingly told, with the part where Barry pours two squashes then realises that Joyce is no longer there really heartbreaking. The message, that of those of natural talent should be recognised, is subtle and makes its point I also loved the script, there are some great wood-isms that are funny in a subtle way, and it is insightful and deliciously ironic in places. The chemistry between Maimie McCoy and Rory Kinnear was very sweet and that of Alfred Molina and Francesca Annis gently moving.
