Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

acatseye if you love science and bio's and appreciate a solid marriage. If ever a film was able to put these together as well as here. If you like a quite movie on a gray day, this is it. no remake please. Men should take a lesson here on how to treat a lady. A good hearten sentimentalist will tear and find no shame in it. film has dedication & compassion. con's - it stretches a little but i didn't mind.

Leonard Kniffel I've watched a lot of Hollywood films with an eye for those that feature Polish or Polish-American characters. Paris in the early part of the last century is the backdrop for this beautiful love story starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon, released in 1943 as World War II raged in Europe. My favorite parts are the references to Poland and the stubborn Polishness that made Marie Skłodowska one of the greatest scientists who ever lived. If you've never seen a Greer Garson film, or haven't seen one lately, she is one of the most beautiful and talented actresses Hollywood ever produced, and totally under- appreciated today. Listen for these lines: "She's a very obstinate girl," says Pierre Curie to his mother. "Well, after all, Poland is her home," the mother explains.

rclay-1 What can I say. She was a giant of science. The only person to win two Nobel Prizes in different science subjects (physics and chemistry.) But for all that this film made me cry a little bit (ruffy tuffy biker ex sea-farers don't cry, although they might leak a bit from the eyes, my excuse and I'm sticking to it.) Showed the long arduous task of scientific exploration and I have to say, Hollywood were at their best when making films like this. And being honest rather than sensational.Even if you have no interest in science, the human story alone is worth seeing. But the more you know about Marie Curie the more you realise how incredible she was, and how she had to fight against incredible discrimination against her purely on the basis of her gender. Makes you realise how stupid that such feelings really are.

Roedy Green This movie is supposed to be a movie about a real person. The problem is movie uses gibberish whenever Madame Curie speaks technical dialog. Surely the writers could have asked a physicist to write them some plausible dialog. The dialog is about on the same level as the Walter Mathau comedy about Einstein.That is so jarring it breaks the spell of the movie every time she does it.The opening lecture is not believable. I have never seen a prof meander aimlessly like that in flights of poesy, not even in an English literature class.In one scene, Pierre tries to convince other scientists to accept the validity of Marie's hypothesis solely on the basis of his recommendation. That is religion, not science. He would would have been hooted had he tried that in real life. Whoever wrote the dialog had not the slightest clue how scientific argument works.We are suppose to accept that Marie is a genius, but we never see her do much brilliant, just toil and toil. Pierre tells us she is is unique and brilliant, but we don't see much evidence.I think the problem is the screenwriters wanted a love story starring Greer Garson and Walter Pigeon to reprieve Mrs. Minniver. The science part was just a gimmick that they did not take all that seriously. It is a bit like doing the story of Gandhi and spending 90% of the time of his almost non-existent love live.
