Movie Reviews of Masterpiece Theatre: Carrie's War
Movie Review: Sweet movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I almost didn't want this movie b/c of some of the less favorable reviews - I thought something awful must happen at the end. Instead, you find out this is a story within a story. Yes, the actress who played the grown-up Carrie didn't look much like the young Carrie, but that's a minor quibble. Yes, the end is full of coincidences and was sugar sweet, yet I wouldn't have wanted a sadder, more realistic ending. It left me with a sense of hope and magic. It was a sweet, feel-good film.
Summary of Masterpiece Theatre: Carrie's War
At the start of World War II, 14-year-old Carrie and her younger brother Nick are separated from their mother and evacuated from war-torn London to a rural village in Wales. Upon their arrival, they are assigned to live with a troubled family?Xthe puritanical shopkeeper Mr. Evans, a widower, and his spinster sister, a timid woman named Lou. While Lou is thrilled to lavish attention on the children, Mr. Evans remains cold and distant. But Carrie and Nick??s fortunes take a turn for the better when they??re sent to fetch a Christmas goose from mysterious Druid??s Bottom?X a manor house occupied by a self-professed witch named Hepzibah and Mr. Evans??s ethereal, estranged sister, Mrs. Gotobed. Filled with magical adventures and first love, this heartfelt and faithful adaptation of Nina Bawden??s beloved novel stars Alun Armstrong (Bleak House), Lesley Sharp (The Full Monty), Pauline Quirke (David Copperfield), Geraldine McEwan (Miss Marple), and Keeley Fawcett (At Home with the Braithwaites) as Carrie.Art House & International DVD Video
