Easy Virtue

With a script based on a Noel Coward play and director Stephan Elliott (The Adventures of Pricilla, Queen of the Desert) behind the camera, all Easy Virtue needed to be a huge success was a cast skillful enough to make it all come alive.

And that’s just what happens with his frothy bit of fun.

Lead by a wonderful performance from Jessica Biel, Easy Virtue takes viewers on a romp through the English countryside circa the 1920s that feels as fresh and alive as if it happened yesterday.
In the movie, Biel plays Larita Whittaker, a modern American woman who gets hitched to a spoiled young Englishman and soon finds herself being scrutinized by the family he’s rebelling against. While Larita is an instant hit with the boy’s father she’s the anti-Christ as far as his mother is concerned, and the two start butting heads soon after saying hello.
Kristin Scott Thomas plays Mrs. Whittaker, and watching her go toe-to-toe with Biel is an absolute delight.
