Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Colin Firth, Tom Wilkinson, Cillian Murphy
Director: Peter Webber
The movie benefits greatly from Johansson's gift for understated delivery, but she's less assured in this demure, largely non-verbal role than she was as a modern young woman in Ghost World and Lost in Translation.
An entertaining but inauthentic adaptation, a production which reads more like a Hollywood teensploit than a historical epic from Holland.

Esta no es una cinta sobre el drama de las relaciones humanas sino sobre la belleza de la pintura, el poder de los sentimientos y la intensidad creadora de los artistas.
... a movie about a kind of understanding that rarely passes between human beings; a solemn, sacred meeting of minds.
Girl with the Pearl Earring is about the liberating and inspiring experience of being seen.
Like the finest of Vermeer's paintings, the film's richly textured elements blend perfectly, unforgettably framed.
Girl gives us a vividly painted world but only patchily drawn characters — in that sense, it gets Vermeer only half right
Girl with a pearl earring (...) is a movie of few words and beautiful pictures, and the story is as understated as the acting.
A terrifically realised film, startlingly emotional and wonderfully visceral.
To watch Girl With a Pearl Earring is to sense that one great photograph after another is unfolding before the eyes.

... the true star of this film is Eduardo Serra, who should have had the Oscar. Sweeping fantasy vistas are easy; creating a sensual feast through the camera’s lens is hard.
Every year or so a movie gets released that is cherished more for its look than its actual content.
