Poetry, Death, and Emma Thompson in One of the Finest Acting Performances Ever
It's no secret that WIT deals with a distinguished academic's travails with ovarian cancer, so the storyline isn't the "thing." Rather, it's the journey that concerns us here, and Emma Thompson gives puts herself and us through a performance that is at once masterful and grueling.
Her ability to transform words on a page to multi-layered meanings with a change in tone or facial expression never ceases to marvel. This is a one-woman tour de force... While it is "witty," what this former off-Broadway play really is is poignant. If you're up for it, take it in; impressed you will be.
Pretty Good Movie, Better Play
After watching "Wit" I was left wishing that I had seen the play on stage. Though the text tell itself is amazing, I don't think it was served to its best potential in this medium.
