Miramax. 121 minutes.
Lasse "Cider House Rules" Hallstrom brings us this Holiday confection.
It sounds a little too sweet to me, although the cast is extraordinary. Juliette
Binoche plays a chocolatemaker with a knack for making exactly the treat her
customers crave, and Johnny Depp is her lover. I'm excited about any movie with
Alfred Molina, Judi Dench, and Lena Olin, though.

This crowd-pleaser is the feature-film version of milk chocolate: an art house
movie for people who don't like art house movies.
