Hannah

Those who think that the word "marvel" applies only to superheroes should steer clear of "Hannah." But Rampling is a true marvel here, in every other sense of the word.

[Rampling is] so mesmerizing you can't take your eyes off her. This is good, because there's nothing else to watch or care about in the entire film anyway.

In a film that otherwise operates in a forbidding chill, it's only Rampling's magnificent performance that holds us in expectant suspension.

Gorgeously and at times frustratingly austere, "Hannah" has a simple, compelling premise. But more than that, it has the unparalleled Charlotte Rampling.

Rampling's pale, stricken countenance sets the tone of "Hannah" and dominates virtually every moment thereafter. By the end, we feel so wrung out it takes a second or two to realize that very little has happened.

There is a real seed of dramatic possibility in Hannah, but Pallaoro smothers it beneath the lacquer of the film's fastidiously mannered minimalism.

Charlotte Rampling, still striking at 72, brings drama to Hannah's lonely days and transforms an achingly average woman into a tragic figure.

By making her quiet corner of the screen more captivating than the portions where people are yelling or screaming, it's easy to see how Rampling won Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival.
