TRISTAN
AND ISOLDE
Release date: January 13, 2006
"A major asset of the picture is Rufus Sewell, who lends both
his role and
the film a weight and a solidity that center the story and make
you care
about what happens to him and his people....... On the one hand his
character is an adversary who stands in the way of Tristan and Isolde's
love, but you can't help liking him and almost wishing that Isolde
wouldn't
be unfaithful to him."
The Trades - Adair
Village,OR,USA
".... a very effective Rufus Sewell."
The New York Times
"...
a truly excellent performance by Sewell."
Vancouver Free Press
"The movie..... is more proof
that Rufus Sewell is one of those actors—like
Terence Stamp, Frank Langella and occasionally Richard Harris—who
can
save a movie through sheer presence, through the lift of a heavy
eyebrow,
or decision to whisper a threat instead of bellowing it."
