Aroview: Majestic interpretation of Virginia Woolf's 'unfilmable' novel salutes the work of Greenaway and gives Tilda Swinton the role of a lifetime, not to mention the costumes! A decadent and imaginative feminist stroll through noble British history that will reward multiple viewings.

4 stars (Very Good) A journey through time of a man who lives for four hundred years. Young nobleman Orlando is commanded by Queen Elizabeth I to stay forever young & travels through four centuries and two genders. Artful, sumptuous, & lush locations. ~GenXGirl

5 stars (Exceptional) I went in thinking I wouldn't much like this but actually it was amazing. Not a traditional story at all and definitely bends the rules of cinema. ~Catapillar
