Girl with a Pearl Earring

"Scarlett Johansson plays the role of a beautiful house maid living in the home of Johannes Vermeer. He sees her as a muse, and paints "The Girl With the Pearl Earring." Colin Firth plays Vermeer, and has a strange and dusty view of Grief, the housemaid. She finds herself wanting more than just being married to the local shop owners' son, Cillian Murphy, playing the role of her love interest Peter. The acting is good, subtle, and the cast is solid. "

"Beautifully done period piece, good, romantic chemistry between the two leads (and also between Scarlet Johansson & Cillian Murphy) — ScarJo without a speck of makeup & Colin Firth with long hair."

"Dont bother, stick with the book"

"Story of how a famous painting may have come to be. Great cast."

"Watch this for the amazing tension and chemistry between costars"

"SPOILER ALERT, I WILL REVEAL PLOT POINTS. This is by far my favorite book to screen adaptation. They manage to invoke the painterly feel of the writing in the cinematography. Firth and Johansson masterfully portray the almost love affair and Scarlett really does look like the girl in the painting. If you are looking for fast paced sexy-sex.. this is not for you. But, if you want to see a beautifully realized exploration of the love and longing... Also the period costumes are spot-on."

"Sexy period piece. Subdued drama. Great cast"

"I really liked it, there is also a book. It does take place in the 1700s, or something like that, so if your not interested in that time period then you might not enjoy it as much"
