Guinevere
"A Beguiling Romance!" - Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Screen favorite Stephen Rea (Michael Collins, The Crying Game) stars in this sexy, humorous story about a young woman's discovery of life and love in the arms of an older man! Born into an affluent family of overachievers, awkward young Harper Sloane (Sarah Polley, eXistenZ, Go!) was always the odd one out...until a brilliant phtographer, Connie Fitzpatrick (Rea), focuses his attention on her! Now, he's about to show her a world of possibilities she'd never imagined! But even as Connie begins to guide Harper out of her shell, it's ultimately up to Harper alone to show her disapproving mother...and the whole world...her true potential! Also featuring Gina Gershon (The Insider, Face Off) you'll be charmed by the acclaimed performances in this warm, award-winning motion picture.

A romance movie for guys - Forester
This ranks as one of my all-time top 10 movies. So much so that I bought it. On the surface it's a "May to December" romance but go deeper and it's much more. Great dialogue, well-developed characters, excellent soundtrack, wonderful filming, and Sarah Polley shines... though I am biased as a big fan. Watch it mindfully, *listen* to the characters, and you will be drawn in.higher hopes - agathinon
Truly a good take on the relationship between a younger woman, coming of age and an older man. I did not feel that the role that the family played in this film did credit to the character of Guinevere. It touched face value, however there was lack of depth of character throughout the film.eye-opening - malice
sarah polley is all grown up, and in stars in a movie for grown-ups. stephen rea is great as the charming/sleazy anti-hero. jean smart is scary as she gives joan crawford a run for the money as the mother from hell.
an intelligent take on young girl-older man relationships.
