Merchant Ivory's first artistic and commercial hit is a light, well-acted, nicely mounted comedy of manners based on Forster's classic novel; Daniel Day-Lewis steals all of his scenes

t's hard to believe A Room with a View cost so little; the costumes and sets are dazzling and the acting is superb -- from two-time Oscar-winner Smith to the smallest role, there's not a false note.

This is a movie about having the courage to face one's feelings, and to risk intimacy, fully knowing and being known by another person.

Spirituality and Practice
A lovely-looking film that captures Forster's scorn for individuals tethered by class distinctions and conformity.

This is a complete movie, full of life, love and hope. While we may occasionally forget that truth is beauty and beauty truth, thankfully films like A Room With a View will always be there as a reminder.
