Movie Reviews of Coming Home
Movie Review: Coming Home is a wonderful movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not read Pilcher's book but I found the movie version of Coming Home excellent. I saw the whole film on WE Entertainment and could not tear myself away. Yes, this movie is surreal and at times hard to believe. But that's why movies are make -believe ! They are supposed to transport us from out hum-drum everyday lives into some place magical. This is a magical movie! Peter O'Toole is wonderful. Emily Mortimer is captivating ! Joanne Lumley shows us that she is more that ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!I cried and laughed at this movie. And at the end I smiled. That's what I look for in a movie. Something to make me feel good. So buy it. You won't regret it !
Movie Review: Good adaptation of the book
Summary: 5 Stars
Translating a lengthy book to the movie screen is never easy, but this adaptation captures the essence of the story and the times. The scenery chosen and the costumes are great, while the cast is filled with familiar faces you love to see (Peter O'Toole, Joanna Lumley, Susan Hampshire, David McCallum, Penelope Keith). The indepth details/characterizations of the book may be missing - time alone would dictate that - nevertheless, the cast draws you into the story. Like a good book, you don't want to put it down....but watch to the very end and want more. Whether you've read the book or not, you'll enjoy the movie.Movie Review: Coming Home a must for everyone

I totally disagree with Kerrville TX USA when she slated Coming Home. It is a fabulous film and I would not be without it in my DVD collection. Since when has any film made been exactly like the book, I personally preferred the film to the book, if it had every single detail in the film as it did in the book you would be sat in front of the tv for hours on end.There is nothing worse than watching a film which goes on and on forever. Anyone who buys it would certainly NOT be wasting their money. Even if they are Rosamunde Pilchers biggest fan I am sure they would still love it if they had any taste.Movie Review: A pleasant surprise!

I have read "Coming Home" twice and have listened to the audio tape several times, so when I saw that the novel was available on video I was delighted...I finally found it on VHS on sale and ordered it, just to see for myself, and watched it this past week. What a joy! I loved every minute of it, and the fact that it didn't cover every page of the book didn't bother me at all. Even "Little Women" switched Amy and Beth's position in the family in the 1949 version but it was still a wonderful movie. I am very glad that I have "Coming Home" in my video collection and plan to watch it again soon.Movie Review: One of the top four for Rosamunde Pilcher
Summary: 5 Stars
Coming Home kept me in my chair reading, ignoring the TV and what was going on around me. It's one of her longest novels, after Shell Seekers, and the people in that 6x9 walk and talk and make me ignore my coffee, even! It's one of the type of books you have to list as a READ. It follows the characters from childhood to established adulthood, in the wonderful areas of Penmarron and Cornwall, with a little seasoning of other locales as well. Don't miss it. If you're late discovering Rosamunde Pilcher, as I was, do it now!
