5/5
fabulous
by J. Mencik
The imagery in this movie evokes the atmosphere of the old dutch paintings. The pace is meditative and the pictures breathe and come to life... Bewitching...
A remarkable work.

defective
by Janice M. Peroni (New Jersey)
I am very displeased with the DVD GIRL WITH A PEARL ERRING. I purchased a used DVD that had a gaurantee in good condition on it. It played great until almost the end. Then stuck and dragged through until the ending without a voice.
4/5
3 stars out of 4
by One-Line Film Reviews (Easton, MD)
The Bottom Line:
An impressive adaptation of Chevalier's novel that (for my money) does many things better than the book, Girl With a Pearl Earring resists any urges to amplify the book's quiet drama and instead turns in a subtly effective little story.
3/5
Another lost opportunity
by John S. Hilliard (Washington, D.C. United States)
I give this movie 3 stars due to the transcendent beauty of the filming.
I give it only 3 due to the second half of the movie. I give the first half 5 stars plus! The problem? It is similar to such movies as "Immortal Beloved", the one about Beethoven that has gotten so many rave reviews. They are both lost opportunities of creating movies about artists, composers which reflect truth. How much more exciting, interesting and moving would it have been if it had followed what we know of the life of the artist and the creation of the painting...which is not much, but less is more.
In this one, we know little about the life of Vermeer, so what do directors, screenwriters, producers do...they make up salacious sensational soap-opera events to attract the 21st century movie going audience. What they have done is blasphemous to the integrity and art of Vermeer. Why couldn't we have had a movie about ONLY the creation of this incredible painting..."The Girl with the Pearl Earring"? Just the making of the painting, without adding fabricated rapes and domestic marital strife. It is almost as if the creators of this movie hated Vermeer.
Shame on you. Shame on those who created the false sensationalism of the Beethoven Immortal Beloved movie too.
If you purchase this movie. Watch only the first half. The last half is not about art or Vermeer, but about money for filmakers. Filmakers who have no understanding of what true beauty is, and the spiritual integrity which ensues if you follow truth rather than cheap tawdry fiction.
P.S. The actors were wonderful, I give them 5 stars, despite the meretricious screenplay.
3/5
Disappointing Ending
by Ann Marie (Mid-Michigan)
This movie was beautifully done.The scenery was truly lovely.The ending was so abrupt though.It just ends!! Nothing like the ending in the book. so for me that knocks it down a few notches.Scarlet Johanson did a wonderful job however, her face looked like she was always in pain!
Girl With a Pearl Earring Summary
Delft, Holland, 1665. seventeen-year-old Griet must work to support her family and becomes a maid in the house of Johannes Vermeer, where she gradually attracts the master painter s attention. Johannes and Griet must hide their inspiration of each other from his volatile wife Catharine. The wealthy and troublemaking Master van Ruijven senses the intimacy between the artist and his maid and contriv
Girl With A Pearl Earring (dvd Movie)
You wouldn't think a movie could look like a Vermeer painting, but
Girl with a Pearl Earring
is filmed with an amazing range of luminous glows that evoke the Dutch artist's masterworks. Of course, it helps that much of the movie centers on Scarlett Johansson (
Lost in Translation
,
Ghost World
), whose creamy skin and full lips have a luminosity of their own. Johansson plays Griet, a maid in the household of Johannes Vermeer (Colin Firth,
Bridget Jones' Diary
,
Fever Pitch
), who finds herself in a web of jealousy, artistic inspiration, and social machinations. Though the pace is slow,
Girl with a Pearl Earring
genuinely conveys some sense of an artist's process, as well as offering many chaste yet sensual moments between Firth and Johansson. Also featuring Essie Davis as Vermeer's bitter wife and Tom Wilkinson (
In the Bedroom
) as a wealthy patron with eyes for Griet.
