“Paquin, in one of her strongest performances since The Piano, and especially Grainger (best known for a substantial résumé of British television) shoulder the film’s dramatic burdens with grace and ease. They’re a pleasure to watch.”~Los Angeles Times

2 stars (Good Try) The story follows a well trodden path but the shooting locations, wardrobe, and other period details are excellent. ~Tubbs

4 stars (Very Good) Nicely done Scottish film of the 1950s. Subtle, with a profound edge. A beautiful film in many ways. Maybe NZ was more progressive, but I knew lots of women in Lesbian relationships in these years and few/no eyebrows were raised here. Terrific acting. ~Sandy
