Instead of piling on distracting historical details and background, Dove trusts the audience to notice behavioral clues and fill in the blanks.

The Wings of the Dove flies high in a year when a whole lot of mega-buck movies barely got off the ground. It's exquisite -- and very adult -- entertainment.

In The Wings of the Dove, there is a fascination in the way smart people try to figure one another out. The film is acted with great tenderness. If the three central characters had been more forthright, more hedonistic, we wouldn't care nearly as much.

Oct 05, 2013Helena Bonham Carter back in a period piece that's worthy of note due to her playing a contemptuous schemerSanity Assassin ! Super Reviewer

Jan 14, 2013Solidly filmed, this movie suffers from the great plague of the period piece - how to make the damn thing interesting. Unfortunately Sofftley never does and we are lulled into a well acted malaise.John B Super Reviewer

Nov 17, 2011Another very nice movie for romantic women of any age. Entertaining, and well put together, but sad. Helena Bonham is just lovely in this.Cynthia S Super Reviewer
-
Mar 26, 2011Well acted, but the film is a such a brief adaptation of the novel we really don't get a chance to get to know the characters well enough to understand their decisions or to feel for them when they are hurt.Alec B Super Reviewer
The Wings of the Dove Quotes
| Merton Densher: | My heart is sore pained within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and the horror hath overwhelmed me. And I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove! For then would I fly away, and be at rest." |
