Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Though she made her first movie at the age of 13, Diane Lane has only blossomed into a true star in her 30s, and Under the Tuscan Sun marks her full flowering. After a brutal divorce, Frances (Lane) is persuaded by her friend Patti (Sandra Oh) to take a tour of Italy--where, on a whim that she hopes will rescue her from her desperate unhappiness, she buys a rundown villa and sets out to renovate it. Along the way, she gets advice from a former Fellini actress, meets a scrumptious Italian lover, and helps support Patti after her own relationship derails. The conclusion of Under the Tuscan Sun holds no surprises, but the deft turns and observations along the way are delightful. Lane carries the film effortlessly but surely, exuding both heartbreak and re-awakening passion. --Bret Fetzer




Rating: - Escape
Everytime I watch this film its as if I've been whisked off to Tuscany, it makes you feel a part of the story. A beautiful setting for a lovely story about finding happiness.

Rating: - Tuscany here I come!!
Under the Tuscan Sun is a feel-good, lovely, sunny, friendly, and happy film.I watch it regularly with my 22 year old daughter, and we LOVE it. It is pure escapism, something that we would all love to do. Diane Lane is fabulous in it, totally believable as Frances, and portrays someone that I would love to have as a friend. I recommend watching it on a rainy, grey day (typical British Summer day really) and totally cheer yourself up by immersing yourself in it. I think it is how we all imagine life ... Read More

Rating: - WATCH THIS FOR AN INSTANT HOLIDAY!
This is a great feel-good movie, and one to watch for an instant holiday. If you have been to Tuscany - it brings back memories, and if you have not, you want to go! Really good casting and acting throughout. Everything about the film is enjoyable. If you need hope for the future in any undertaking, this will give it to you!

Rating: - One for the ladies.....
... or romantics everywhere. I purchased this film primarily because I enjoyed `My House in Umbria'. And secondly because Linsay Duncan really is this century's Bette Davis - her calculated performances are always an event. I have not heard of Diane Lane, but as a previous Oscar nominee, I cannot imagine this film proved much of a challenge. She's fairly forgettable.

As a film, 'Under the Tuscan Sun' is nicely written and beautifully filmed with superb quality of picture and sound. However, ... Read More

Rating: - "Never lose your childish enthusiasm, and everything will come your way."
(3.5 stars) Based on the captivating memoir of author Frances Mayes, this fictionalized version of her story becomes a completely different creation--far more romantic, more predictable, and more obvious than the memoir. Here in the film, Frances, recovering from a devastating divorce, accepts a ten-day trip to Tuscany from two friends, leaves the tour group, and discovers and buys an abandoned villa. With her own imagination and the help of an inexperienced Polish crew, which has the predictable number of ... Read More
