This movie has it all - fantastic writing, great acting, engaging and charming. Directed by Dustin Hoffman, starring Maggie Smith and Billy Connolly. Screenplay by Ronald Harwood, Oscar-winning writer of The Pianist. From IMDB, "At a home for retired musicians, the annual concert to celebrate Verdi's birthday is disrupted by the arrival of Jean, an eternal diva and the former wife of one of the residents." Such a nice change to see a movie that depends on the writing and the acting instead of CGI and special effects. If you love Downton Abbey, you'll enjoy this movie.

Alice in IMAX 3D

Seeing this in IMAX 3D was sensational! Not just a few 3D effects, but it was 3D throughout, almost like watching a live stage play. Though all the actors/characters are very good, Helena Bonham Carter steals this movie and the Queen of Hearts. Costumes, cinematography, make-up, acting were all first-rate.
