Movie Review: A Beautiful Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a lovely, inspiring and ultimately sad film. It is not for the audience that has to have endless discussion and psychobabble about feelings, conflicts, etc. or action, action, action. The story is set in Spain in the 1930's as the Fascists were gaining power and the Spanish Civil War was in the air. Both the hero and the heroine are from a strong Catholic tradition that elevates family and adherence to the church's teachings (however flawed they may be). The two actors involved not only have chemistry, but it is smoldering. However, it is also quiet and restrained, as it would be in that setting and at that time. Many things were happening that involved the family into which the young Irish tutor had come and they were monmentous events, involving the lives and wellbeing of all the members,as well as the fate of the country they love. The father (Franco Nero) and the son(Vincent Perez) were both anti-Fascist and they were in more and more danger as the movie progressed. I found the love story to be moving and the portrayal of the torn feelings of the lovers and other family members to be sensitive and engrossing. It was a terrible time of conflict in Spain and the young tutor had just left her homeland, Ireland, which had recently undergone a similar tragic upheaval. I think this story is about things that mattered greatly at that time and place--conscience, patriotism, devotion and integrity. It was beautifully filmed and acted and had a deeply moving message about the passions, needs, and duties that drive decent people in times of turbulence.Movie Review: Beautiful Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I was deeply touched by this movie. It was well made and beautifully written. The casting was excellent. I think no other could have played Mary and Fransisco better that Polly Walker and Vincent Perez. You could feel the attraction between them and the chemistry was amazing. I was so moved by the story that I ordered the book that it was based on...Mary Lavelle by Kate O'Brien.Movie Review: polly walker does it again
Summary: 5 Stars
the scenario is excellent, but Polly Walker steals the show, and while I have a bone to pick with French movie actors, Vincent Perez is also very good. My only problem is I do not understand why Polly Walker did not become a better known actress, she has the looks and talent that a Julia Roberts would beg for.Movie Review: I loved this quiet movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this exceptional movie a few weeks ago and loved it..
the story line was very moving and I did enjoy the actors who all did a great job.. also loved the beautiful scenery and the wildness of it..
this is certainly a movie I will watch again and again...
Movie Review: I love this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched this movie several times and love it each time. However, I have showed it to some friends and none of them liked it. You really need to love history, romance, and period pieces to fully appreciate this movie.
