Movie Reviews of Lilies
Movie Review: I LOVED IT !
Summary: 4 Stars
I just finished watching Lilies last night. It was very good and was very enjoyable. I wanted to give it 5 stars but had to give 4 because of the accents of the actors, I have to admit I had a hard time understanding some of the dialog, by the time it was over I was a little better at figuring out what was being said. I hope there is a second season just so dadda can get back with Miss Bird and tell his bratty children to grow up! I thought the acting was really wonderful, especially the actors who played Ruby and Billy. Anyway, if you love period pieces then "Lilies" is a MUST!!Movie Review: Not Closed-caption as shown in Amazon's Product Details
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm sure this is a great series, as reviewed by the majority, and we were eagerly looking forward to the same experience. However, the "closed-captioned" reference, as shown in Amazon's Product Details, is not available on the disks. Many of us are dependent on closed-captions, particularly in BBC series' where the dialog includes cockney and a host of other London dialects appropriate to that period. (Under these circumstances, it was difficult to assign a rating--I apologize for what may be a misleading 3-star rating.)Movie Review: Couldn't follow it
Summary: 3 Stars
I too had a hard time following the dialogue. I have no idea what they were talking about half the time. This would be better to have subtitle option for those of us not living in England.Movie Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I love period pieces, but this was the exception. Some of the accents are so thick that I had to turn the CC on so that I could understand what was being said, as this doesn't have subtitles. I think that the acting was very good as well as the sets. However, that is where it ends. The story is so depressing, and ending isn't much better.
This series is about a post-WWI English family of older children who recently lost their mother and their father is living in the past. The father is overbearing and abusive. The son has post traumatic stress disorder from his war experiences. The sister's work at various jobs to help support the family and are seen making a series of very bad decisions that affect everyone else in the family on some level or another. The breaking point for me was when the father viciously beat his pregnant daughter with a belt as the other two sisters tried to protect her. Just over-the-top.
This series has nudity, sex, homosexuality, violence, suicide attempts, and an unwed pregnancy. It needs to be rated R or have a warning of some kind. I thought this would be another PG or PG-13 period piece, but it's definitely not. Thankfully I watched it when my children weren't around. I kept hoping that the story line would improve, but it didn't. A waste of my time.
Movie Review: I would NOT purchase this movie again
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this movie was the worst in my collection.... I got through it but it will either be pitched or on the shelf. Bad for me, I thought the whole movie was sad, and not as i thought. I definately would not purchase it again.
