 Very Disappointing, Nov 30, 2006 |
| reviewer: Anonymous from Brooklyn, NY USA |
| I looked forward to seeing sparks fly, and I saw none. I am not sure whether it's the play or the acting but I tend to think it's the latter. Bill Nighy is so charming, interesting and sexy -- but apparently Julianne Moore doesn't feel the same, judging by her performance. |

confused, Dec 04, 2006 |
| reviewer: Tiffany Amspacher from York, PA |
| I just saw this show on saturday. I was not as anxious to see it as I had been when I bought the tickets because of all the bad reviews. I expected to see what everyone had written about...a dull play that lacked emotion. Boy was I in for a suprise. I have see many broadway shows and this is one of my favorites. I thought the script was phenominal and the acting superb. Not only was it dramatic, but hilariously funny (which suprised me). The chemistry between the actors was very tangible. I was on the edge of my seat to see where the relationships were going. I thought the first scence was a little dead, but as soon as Nadia arrived at her boyfriends father's house the play took off. I would reccommend this play to anyone. I'm actually buying another ticket to see this show again. I am so dumbfounded by all the negative reviews that I have read. Julianne Moore was great (not the best that I have seen her, but it was a great performance) and Bill was just amazing!!! Tiffany __________________ |

 Surprisingly good, Dec 23, 2006 |
| reviewer: E from New York, NY, USA |
| Most summaries of the play mentoned this huge sexual chemistry and romantic issues. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was in fact a political drama. While Moore's performance is somewhat lacking, Nighy is wonderful and Andrew Scott is amazing. Another interesting aspect is that both sides of the debate about the Iraq war are equally debated. This is a show that is not to be missed. |

 Please, not to softly., Feb 04, 2007 |
| reviewer: Anthony Annunziato from Garden City,NY 11530 |
| I enjoyed the play and obvious artistry of the performers.Julianne is a very beautiful lady and shows such grace and stage presence. Bill Nighy is so magnicficent in language and speech. His hand gestures are incredibly important to what he says and how he moves on stage; also he seems to bring forth the pathos of the spoken word by his very movements. The cast is very talented. The only negative thing was the audio aspect of the play. Julianne and Bill at times could not be heard in the rear right wing(orchestra) section of the theatre But I certainly loved the thrill of the moment ..great cast....GREAT PERFOMMANCES! Sincerely, Anthony Annunziato( the gentle and humble critic) Please explain what the term, Verticle Hour means? No one about us could hear her explanation. |

 subtle enjoyment, Jan 24, 2007 |
| reviewer: Paul from US |
| moore's character builds on you during the play from a rote professiorial academic to someone who finally realizes what is important to her both personnally and professionally. and bill's character and performance is truly admirable; its a wake up call for what's really important in our lives as inhabitants of the planet. and phillipp is a up and coming star who performs quite well with a role that is direct and consequential. worth seeing . |
