In this period comedy, a British spinster (Vanessa Redgrave) eyes a factory owner (Edward Fox) who is infatuated with a young American nanny (Uma Thurman) at a resort in 1937 Italy.
“A Month by the Lake” is a sly romantic comedy about a collision of sex, ego, will and pride, all peeping out from beneath great thick layers of British reticence. Its delights are wrapped in a lavish production in a beautiful time and place – Italy’s Lake Como, in the spring of 1937; it’s another one of those movies, like “Enchanted April” and “Only You,” about perfect places for a holiday. – Roger Ebert
