The Eye Of The Storm
Elizabeth Hunter controls all in her life, society, her staff, her children; but the once great beauty will now determine her most defiant act as she chooses her time to die. But in dying, as in living, Mrs Hunter remains a powerful force on those who surround her.

It's a chilly, cruel film about characters that are difficult to like or warm to, and it obviously means a great deal to a country that for so long rejected its greatest writer.

Although the story holds much premise, The Eye of the Storm survives mostly off the performances of the leading cast members.

Rush and Davis are two of the best actors in the business, and their brittle gamesmanship and rue holds the screen. But the film is disappointingly lackluster -- a mild squall instead of a storm.

[A] handsome, if patchy, rendering of Patrick White's story of manipulation and dysfunction among the rich and selfish.

The film circles (slowly, like an overfed vulture) around the protracted death of a savage matriarch played, with no concessions to subtlety, by Charlotte Rampling.

The movie proceeds at a measured and reverent pace, a little unfocused, but with intelligent performances from three heavyweight acting talents.

Sometimes a feast of acting isn't enough.

It is funny and sad in patches, but never comes completely alive, perhaps because there isn't a single character with whom you can feel fully in sympathy.

It all feels like a whittled-down miniseries.

A brilliantly acted semi-dud.

Has taken almost two years to reach the UK; you'd be forgiven for thinking it was far longer, given its sub-Joseph Losey pretensions and doily-like styling.

Too often the film's moods switch unsuccessfully between the abruptly serious and the broadly bizarre.
