A Rumor of Angels Movie Review

Hallmark, where are you? This Vanessa Redgrave film is as overripe as anything Redgrave has made in the last two decades, a sickly sweet something about communicating with angels via Morse code. Redgrave, a half-crazy widow, takes in a troubled and bratty youth (Trevor Morgan), who lost his mother in accident. Together they become the scampiest couple in town, hanging out at her freaky lighthouse. I guess if you're looking for a good cry, A Rumor of Angels has tears galore for you to savor. Not much else, alas.
