The film received mostly unfavorable comparisons to Casablanca,[2] Dr. Zhivago,[3] The Garden of the Finzi-Continis,[3][5] Jane Eyre,[2] Gone With the Wind,[7] and The Leopard.[3] Based on the 1936 novel Mary Lavelle by Kate O'Brien,[3] which was banned in Ireland when first published,[4] with a script co-written by Ann Guedes and Frank McGuinness, Talk Of Angels tells the story of a young Irish governess who travels to Spain in the mid-1930s to teach English to the young daughters of a prominent family. Over the course of the film, she becomes drawn to the family's married eldest son, and their affair unfolds with the increasing violence associated with the early days of the Spanish Civil War as a backdrop.[5] Cast
ReceptionEntertainment Weekly described it as "Casablanca-derived" but called the main characters "blandly pretty" and "pretty bland".[6]The LA Times argued that "Walker remains the primary distraction" and that "the sum, as they all too often say, is not quite that of the parts. And "Talk of Angels" unfortunately exists in that romance-novel realm in which political concerns are mere adornments for the treacle-dripping issues of the heart."[7] The New York Times noted that "Talk of Angels is the third and weakest movie to be released this year in which the central character is a beautiful, charming, clever, wise young governess who becomes romantically entangled with someone in her employer's family," and complained that it was "so badly butchered in the cutting room that crucial dramatic confrontations are strangely missing."[8]Variety said in its review that "As the would-be lovers, Walker and Perez are individually charismatic and undeniably attractive, but together they generate about as much heat as Lake Placid in February", continuing that "Talk of Angels doesn't use the politics of war to create tension between the lovers; it's as if the war were irrelevant to their personal drama."[5]The New York Daily News was favorable, calling it "a romantic, intelligent Jane Eyre-like story" and said that "director Nick Hamm makes a worthy feature debut, backed by a solid cast."[2] Boxoffice wrote that it "is an undeniably beautiful and often seductive tale of colliding cultural sensibilities and ferocious passions" but that "the passions depicted on-screen are fairly tepid ones, playing more like a dime novel than the meaningful epic the filmmakers intended."[9]Film4s summary was that it was "elevated above the ordinary by strong performances and a vivacious feel".[10]References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=talkofangels.htm |title=Talk of Angels (1998) |work=Box Office Mojo|accessdate=October 4, 2015}} 2. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/entertainment/1998/10/30/1998-10-30_jane_eyre-like__angels__is_j.html|title=Jane Eyre-like 'Angels' is just old-fashioned gov story|last=Bernard|first=Jami|date=30 October 1998|work=New York Daily News|accessdate=2009-08-03}}{{Dead link|date=June 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19970909&slug=2559282|title=Movies Calendar|date=9 September 1997|work=Seattle Times|accessdate=2009-08-03}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-72817270.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121026092148/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-72817270.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=26 October 2012|title=Novel banned by Irish now out in paperback|last=Conlan|first=Maureen|date=21 June 1997|work=Cincinnati Post|accessdate=2009-08-03}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117487819.html?categoryid=31&cs=1|title=Talk of Angels|last=Loewsenstein|first=Lael|date=26 October 1998|work=Variety|accessdate=2009-08-03}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,273406,00.html|title=Talk of Angels|last=D'Angelo|first=Mike|date=14 May 1999|work=Entertainment Weekly|accessdate=2009-08-03}} 7. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1998/oct/30/entertainment/ca-37424|title='Talk of Angels' Romances Politics, Beauty, Spain|last=Anderson|first=John|date=30 October 1998 |work=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=2009-08-03}} 8. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9F05E7D71F3CF933A05753C1A96E958260|title=Talk of Angels (1998) October 30, 1998 FILM REVIEW; Out of an Irish Frying Pan Into the Spanish Civil War|last=Holden|first=Stephen|date=30 October 1998|work=New York Times|accessdate=4 October 2015}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=http://boxoffice.com/reviews/2008/08/talk-of-angels.php|title=Talk of Angels|last=Major|first=Wade|date=1 August 2008|work=Boxoffice|accessdate=2009-08-03|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090621190841/http://boxoffice.com/reviews/2008/08/talk-of-angels.php|archivedate=21 June 2009|df=}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/film.jsp?id=109059§ion=review|title=Talk Of Angels Review|work=Film4|accessdate=2009-08-03}} External links
