I liked this docu a lot, I'm always interested in what happens behind the scenes of film making, in particular when it covers a total lifetime and lots of decennia. You get 3 stories, the storyboard artist, the rechearcher and a love story. Although I believe the love story has been sweetened (at a moment even very naive), I got sucked into this docu from the first till the last moment.
... View MoreI loved this movie! It works on so many levels - as the true story of an amazing love affair, as an insiders' look at the way movies are made, as an insight into some of the iconic shots in classic films, and as a work of cinematic art. "Harold and Lillian" is a tribute to two behind-the-scenes pioneers of Hollywood. I loved getting to know this couple through their lives, their work, and their lasting impact on American film. I can't wait to see it again!
... View MoreIt is a very charming film. A kind of film which makes you leave the theater with a smile on your face. The film also makes you aware of a couple who worked behind the scene in the film industry for many years, loving their work and loving each other. I'm so happy to learn about them and would like everyone who care about cinema to know about them, too.I tend to recommend films with interesting story line, films that give you emotional impact, or films that I can tell why it's worth your time. On the other hand, I leave all other films I simply love in my personal favorite list. 'Harold and Lillian' can very easily find its place in my personal favorite list, but I added to my recommendation list instead because it tells the story that needs to be told.The tone of film largely owes lovely & positive personality of Lillian. She is such a beautiful person.
... View MoreSharp, compelling and surprisingly emotional, this love story packs a punch. A fantastic look at Hollywood's past, as well as a moving story about a family. Lillian is my new hero! Her sly humor and charm are like sunshine. A true feminist from before feminism was a thing. Well done.
