That is really a great review for Fur! Thanks, Wiggleurnose! Wish I could find some more reviews but so far no luck. But I do agree that there probably will be more reviews later after everyone has seen Fur and probably after the cinephiles are back at their offices where they have easier access to computers.

Another taster review...
After tonight's opening night feed on Colorado Ave., an overflow crowd packed the fest's largest venue, The Palm, for the first-ever screening of Steven Shainberg's new film "Fur", which carries the subtitle, An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus. I certainly went in expecting something different...and left having witnessed something altogether unexpected. For now, I'll call the film a strange and creepy love story, with whiffs of "Alice In Wonderland" and "Beauty and the Beast"...As I mentioned to Shainberg after leaving the screening tonight, I'll have a number of questions for him when we sit down to talk about the movie in the morning. But for now, I don't even know what those questions will be... http://daily.greencine.com/archives/002380.html |

The Alice in Wonderland and Beauty and the Beast analogy sounds familiar so it could be from the same reviewer. There's no clear mention who the reviewer is but I followed the links at it looks like Anne Thompson from the Hollywood Reporter. A positive review from HR would be a good start for FUR

A positive review from HR would be a good start for FUR  The review/reviewer quoted is from IndieWire, this is his page with the review on it (a good review from IndieWire is also a bonus since it caters primarily for Indies): http://blogs.indiewire.com/eug/archives/011179.html Shainberg did say it was a fairytale .

~~~Tonight the discussion was about Fur, the Diane Arbus biopic starring Nicole Kidman in another daring career choice. As one of the voices in the darkness said on the gondola ride, Kidman has "guts." ~~~
I like this. Nicole does have great amounts of courage.  Can't wait to see the film. ebony |

LOL, I like just realized that review that Wiggle posted is from The Hollywood Reporter's blog! Which means that Anne Thompson wrote it(since she always is the writer in that blog) which means that the official review from The Hollywood Reporter is positve. Which is a verrrrry good thing.

![hello[1].gif](http://www.nicolekidmanunited.invisionzone.com/style_emoticons/NKUemoticons/hello[1].gif) another daring choice, an unconventional "biopic" just piques my curiosity. i'm tired of biopics that are dull, take too many dramatic liberties, and are the same cookie cutter flick  . can't wait until the movie screens in rome! loops |

This isn't a review but I thought you guys would like to know that the fact that this is getting good ink is showing up at some major awards sites, like The Envelope:
QUOTE  Photo: Nicole Kidman stars as the tragic, edgy photographer who committed suicide in 1971. (Picturehouse) Anne Thompson pets 'Fur' at Telluride Movies with major Oscar potential are making their debut this weekend at the Telluride Film Festival: "Little Children," "Fur," "The Last King of Scotland," "Venus," "Infamous," "Volver" and "Babel" among them. At her blog, Anne Thompson of the Hollywood Reporter raves about "Fur," the biopic about photographer Diane Arbus starring Nicole Kidman: "I was expecting a weird movie about a woman photographing freaks and instead saw an exquisitely crafted love story. It played well for the Telluride crowd Saturday morning, which tends toward the older art-house side. Instead of making a conventional Diane Arbus biopic, New Yorker Steve Shainberg, who grew up with her photos in his house because his novelist uncle was friends with Arbus, has crafted an imaginative portrait of the period in her life when Arbus, 35, took a dive off the deep end. She stopped assisting her husband in his portrait studio and started taking her own photographs. How did that transformation happen? Read More - CLICK HERE! The Envelope |

I've been asking lots of people in line what they've seen that they liked. Steven Shainberg's Fur, starring Nicole Kidman, is getting a mixed response. The Hollywood Reporter's Anne Thompson liked it. Generally, people I've chatted up either seem to love it or *do not like* it, so now I want to see it for myself.

I am really excited to see this film, I think the subject of it is very interesting, and I am really thrilled to see Nicole's interpretation of Ms. Arbus. Is it November yet? LOL
