"Note: This review was written before the death of its writer/director 'Anthony Minghella'. Anthony Minghella's first original screenplay since 1991's Truly Madly Deeply is a garbled and somewhat lumbering affair between two sets of people from opposite sides of the social divide. His plot feels as forced as a smile on Anne Robinson's face, which in turn makes the performances labored and leaves the whole thing lacking plausibility. I expected much more from this cast. London comes out the only winner here -- un-cliched, oozing with grime and always an interesting subject to view. Still, not a good enough reason to watch this film. "

"This weaves some complex emotional themes well, i thought. Cast is superb...Juliette Binoche is extraordinary, Jude Law just has to be there ...Robin wright Penn looks like Julie Christie...the likes of Martin Freeman and Ray Winstone make this reassuringly humanistic..Maybe overreaches itself,but the story is expertly told...

"Variety’s story on the death of Anthony Minghella has the first details on cause of death, and sadly, it appears that it was unforeseen. The filmmaker apparently “suffered a brain hemorrhage at 5 a.m. Tuesday morning at Charing Cross Hospital in London, where he had undergone a routine operation on his neck.” Spout interviewed Minghella when his last released film, Breaking and Entering, had its U.S. premiere at the 2006 Denver Film Festival. You can watch that interview above. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » karina "

"I had the good fortune of seeing the American premier of Breaking and Entering opening night at the Starz Denver Film Festival. This film is Anthony Minghella's 6th and in the company of titles like Truly Madly Deeply, The English Patient and The Talented Mr. Ripley.It took me almost 24 hours to process this film in my head. Although the surface story seems fairly straightforward (issues of class, immigration, parent/child and husband/wife relationships), Mr. Minghella does not shy away from telling it both circuitously and subtly...just like real life unfolding. To that extent, the performances by Jude Law, Robin Wright Penn and Juliette Binoche are authentic and honest...especially Juliette. Her character doesn't win you over immediately. She pulls you in...slowly. Her character's relationship with her son was amazing to watch (as I have seen the same intensity between my own wife and son).The final analysis? This was simply a beautiful film that sticks with you. "
