This was a little boring but maybe more accurate it talks more about him and his time in Paris. I was more concentrated on Sally Hemmings.
May 22, 2008 I loved this film. It is incredibly accurate from an historical point of view. The events. people, and places depicted were 100%. If you are a Jefferson scholar, historian, or fan; you will appreciate the detail this film contains. It has been criticized for being slow and overly long. It is true that some scenes dragged and frankly it took me a while to buy Nick Nolte in this role, but overall it is a very fine period piece which tells a very romantic story with extreme clarity. If you are viewing this film as a lover of history - you will not be disappointed.
February 19, 2008It keeps your attention and is interesting-for a historical movie. What I liked about this is the forbidden, tense, sexual attraction between Nolte & cute-as-a-button Thandie Newton. Paltrow plays something different: mean & flaring. They did a good job.
August 30, 2007I saw this in school, years ago. At first I was disappointed because I thought the teacher said we were going to watch "the Jefferson's in Paris". So I was a little bummed when George and Weezy never showed up, but the part where Thomas jefferson trips over the log is as funny as anything that was ever on the Jeffersons.
April 2, 2007This isn't the best Merchant & Ivory movie, and the plot is subtle to the point of non-existent, but the production values are fantastic, and Nick Nolte warms up to being pretty good. (And I think he really looks a bit like Jefferson, too.) The music is fantastic and very well researched. Most of the historical detail is very well done. There are minor errors that only a Jefferson fanatic like me would notice (Jefferson says his first child died young, but actually his first child was Martha, the only one who survived him; Jefferson tells his daughter he's been asked to be secretary of state, but he didn't actually learn about this till he had returned to America--and other minor flaws). But there is much here for the Jefferson fan to love.
