Smith's performance is terrific, nicely judged poignancy seeping through her garrulous grande-dame exterior...

A story about guilt, love and happy endings, My House in Umbria is a delightful and uplifting encounter. Full Review

It is, of course, a tribute to Dame Maggie that we end up rooting for Emily's version of the world rather than our own, and that we would rather live in Italy. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Thin and uninvolving ... [but] the performances are good in a muted sort of way. Full Review

The scenery in this film is lush, the acting strong. But the material wanders and falters.

My House in Umbria is not sexy, not cutting edge; it does not "push the envelope." It tells a simple story about love and hope, sadness and loneliness. In the current coarse pop culture climate, that makes "Umbria" the riskiest type of film of all. Full Review

Product Description:

Based on the novella by William Trevor, MY HOUSE IN UMBRIA is set in the sprawling Italian countryside. After a tragic train accident, four survivors find solace in the villa of an English writer, Mrs. Delahunty (Maggie Smith). The other survivors--an American girl (Emmy Clarke), a British general (Ronnie Barker), and a young German (Benno Furmann)--struggle to come to terms with the disaster, as an inspector (Giancarlo Giannini) tries to figure out exactly what happened. Eventually, the young girl's uncle (Chris Cooper) shows up, bringing the film to a climax.
