Trivia
Maggie Smith and Judi Dench were performing together in a West End play when they received the scripts. They consulted each other, and decided to do the project.

Errores
Mains electricity, gas lighting and indoor flush toilets were unlikely to be present in remote village houses in 1936 Cornwall.

Gentle, atmospheric delight

I had read mixed reviews on this and am delighted to report that I was captivated completely by the plot, the cinematography and the two delightful actors (and Dames), Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. Not to mention the music played by Joshua Bell, the young supporting actors, Daniel Bruhl and Natascha McElhone and the curmudgeonly Miriam Margolyes as Dorcas the daily.

Highly evocative of the era, around 1938-1939 when Germany is rising and the memories of WW1 are still strong. Janet, one of the sisters, played by Maggie, is a widow from that war and lives with her sister Ursula, a spinster, played by Judi.

The story is delicate and mindful of others - Whales of August, Tea with Mussolini, but it has its own strength - the unrequited love that Ursula feels for the young man that the sisters rescue from the shore.

Charles Dance does a superb job both with the writing and the directing of such a flimsy tale. One is taken right in to the era, the harvest, the clothes, the village dance, the fisherman with their catches of the day on the shore. Gorgeous landscapes and gardens. A slice of life beautifully done. 8 out of 10.
