Movie Reviews of A Love Divided
Movie Review: Do secret vows outweigh written ones?Man,God OR US???!
Summary: 5 Stars
RARELY WILL I EVER SAY THAT 5*s ARE NOT ENOUGH TO AWARD A FILM!!! Well..now I have said it!!!...MORE THAN 5*s!!!
The true story of Sheila and Sean Cloney in 1950's Ireland is a story of love tested under the greatest of odds.This young and much in love couple make four marriage vows:first ,secretly before the Justice of the Peace,then in Sheila's sparcely congregated Protestant Church,next In Sean's dominant village Catholic Church and then finally a private vow strictly between the two of them that was agreed upon to be the MOST binding-their love and right to decide above any other clamour.Life was idyllic in their village.Everyone of all faiths,and even of NO faith peacefully coexisted.BUT DID THEY?When it comes time to send one of their children to school, the Catholic Priest,Father Stratton, insists that it is the parents' sworn AND signed vow before God promising to raise their children Catholic that must hold sway.Sheila believes that her and Sean's secret vow was to be the most binding...and THAT'S when the test of their true love begins.What they decide will effect their families,their friends and ultimately their own ability to keep their own private vow!
Written by Stuart Hepburn, the screenplay by Deidre Dowling is briskly paced and never lacking in tention and action.Beautifully directed by Stephen Macarthy,A LOVE DIVIDED is a cinematic eyefull filmed on location in the most breathtaking parts of Ireland and Scotland by Cedric Culliton.The film is one of the rare examples of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE coming together to film THE PERFECT STORY in THE PERFECT WAY.The continued playing and singing of the immortal Robert Burns'AE FOND KISS is woven into the texture of this cinematic marvel reminding the viewer that,as the barkeep in the town put it,"Love's too precious...and life's too long without it!" What is most interesting at the end of the film are the observations that Sheila makes:"Was it the right decision?....We may never know!" It lends pause to the Bible verse "Make no vow before men"....for you just may have to actually be holden to it! GOOD STUFF!!!!!
