...meets Sebastian Marchmain (Ben Whishaw) when the latter leans in his window and throws up on his floor. Soon enough they're dining on plover's eggs and mooning over one another. Sebastian introduces Charles to his family - in this film living in a statelier home than any Masterpiece Theater ever dreamed of - which includes his sister, Julia (Hayley Atwell), and his sternly religious mother (Emma Thompson, splendidly playing as far from her usual inviting self as it's possible to get). Now Charles and Julia start eyeing one another, Sebastian starts drinking himself into oblivion, and a happily romantic...
...former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan. For Eisenberg, the wheeling and dealing never stop. Like many self-made men, he puts others off with his intense focus. ''He's a very tough man,'' says another ex-employee , ''very demanding, very aggressive.'' Eisenberg has no hobbies, doesn't go to the theater, doesn't have leisurely dinners with friends. ''The only thing that interests him,'' says David Lisbona, Eisenberg's personal assistant in Israel, ''is his work. He enjoys bringing these things together -- which is why he is still doing it.

The AMC South Barrington in Chicago planned to show the movie on six screens and ended up ordering more prints in order to play it on 18. A planned Friday midnight showing at Hollywood's Cinerama Dome sold out so quickly, its adjoining theater, the ArcLight, added 13 midnight screenings. Those midnight shows broke another record, earning $18.5 million, to beat out Star Wars, Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith's 2005 record...
...late '50s, when TV had come into even the poorest homes and a gallon of gas cost 30 cents. We get a glimpse of the Victorian houses that had once been Bunker Hill's elitist pride and were now slum abodes. The Angels Flight railway, the movie theater, the Ritz Bar are seen in their full functioning glory. Since the people in The Exiles rehearsed some of their scenes, the movie may not fit the precise definition of a documentary. But it is a precious document of a vanished culture. (The film is eloquently excerpted in Thom Anderson's excellent...
