WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

pc95 The script and dialog of "The Triumph of Love" is often first rate in this movie, directed by Claire Peploe. Though I don't know how much the original story or script has been altered for modern tastes, the main problem of the movie is the uneven acting. Lead Sorvino is good in some scenes but stilted and off in others as is curiously Ben Kingsley. This can probably be somewhat attributed to inconsistent direction likewise. Anyway the movie features some very good scenes especially toward the beginning and end. I Didn't care much for the liberty thrown in with touch of the modern play towards the end. Mildly recommended, though if you're looking for a superior Victorian-ish story, check out the better though darker"Ridicule".

mxue78 I borrowed this movie from library think it might be delightful. How wrong am I!It is such a bad movie that I have to write something about it. Mira Sorvino is SO bad in the movie, it is very painful to watch the scene with her. She is a pretty girl, but in this movie, She is not seductive at all, but I will have to witness her awkward attempt to seduce almost all the other major characters. It is so ridiculous.And the dialog of the film is so pretentious, and lack the humorous fact that make then acceptable.Totally failure.

sidpink In college I studied Marivaux -- whose play this movie is based on -- so I have an understanding of the movie's context and characters. Given that, I found Triumph of Love to be rather enjoyable. But I don't recommend it for everyone. If you like Shakespeare in film or other cinematic adaptations of theater, you might well like this one. Mira Sorvino is, of course, lovely in the starring role(s).

George Parker "Triumph of Love" is a silly little comedy about a woman (Sorvino) who dresses like a man to woo a woman and reveals her true sex to two men to woo them. The plot and her motives are elsewhere on this site. Having done that, she continues the scam on and on, engaging the trio of hapless would-be love interests over and over until the plot wears down to a nub. "Triumph..." is theater on film; a fact of which we're reminded by shots of an audience cloistered among the garden shrubs...an annoying interjection. A clumsy adaptation of theater for film, "Triumph..." will likely be of interest by only the most ardent aficionados of period plays. (C+)
