Movie Haiku:Icy adaptation of Phillip Roth’s “Monica-gate” morality tale. Hopkins stars as Coleman Silk, the arrogant Dean of an elite New England college. Augmenting the well-used star power of Oscar luminaries Hopkins, Kidman, Ed Harris & Gary Sinise, Benton’s coup is the revelatory performance of newcomer Wentworth Miller as young Coleman.
