Preview: Certified Copy (2011)

Synopsis:

An art dealer and an art historian become involved in a love affair.

• Poster: C+

Review:

If there is no cinematic importance of the necklace, I would be surprised. Much like the trailer, the poster lacks a passionate push that would bring the audience to the theater.

• Trailer: C

Review:

Tender films about love are wonderful to watch, but whomever cut this trailer together understands very little about building tension or expression and makes this seem like a rather pedestrian project despite the notable names involved.

Oscar Prospects:

The Academy has been slow to recognize well known foreign masters, so don't expect Abbas Kiarostami to be an Oscar contender this year.

Release Date:

• March 11, 2011
