Computer graphics’ monumentalism overwhelms this trite, class conscious love story: Bilge, in fact.
The script is execrable as characters speak in overblown, curiously un-Edwardian sentences; leaving the actors literally all at sea with dialogue pointlessly-inappropriate to its period. But that does not matter so much since Leonardo DiCAPRIO cannot act and Kate WINSLET needs much better material than this to shine as a woman and as an actress.
An unbelievable, overwrought melodrama that is ostensibly about social class, love and the ethics of grave robbing; while lacking few insights into any of these issues. A pop-video film for a pop-video generation.
The best thing in this otherwise quite bland film is Gloria STUART as the older Rose (to Winslet’s younger version). She communicates perfectly the nature of her love and her life lived to the full in memory of its blue diamond perfection.
