2 Reviews For A 43 Year Old Film ?
1st review declares a spoiler and gives a good review, but the 2nd writes a review based on not even watching the film ?
Well... I have seen the film... several times over the decades since it was released, and have never once found it boring.
The film portrays a light-hearted view of how one woman deals with the grief of losing her husband after a rather unconventional turn of events.
It captures an epoch of time which probably does'nt appeal to younger audiences who may be unable to relate to the ambience of the late 70's early 80's.
Acting is absolutely on point... Liv Ullmann being the recipient of an award for her role, but not overshadowing the rest of the cast who were all superb throughout.

Well... a stunning broad scope of roles played by Emilia Fox, and you could expect nothing less from a member of a family of brilliant actors. In essence, Emilia play's three different personas with exceptional brilliance.
The plot twist was moderately predictable, but that scarcely matters as there is an actual story to follow, unlike the rubbish being churned out these days, full of social engineering and political correctness.
A film I could easily watch multiple times, even knowing how the plot unravels, purely for the extremely well directed, acted and edited film that it is... and there is a proper conclusion at the end... not pseudo-arty, leaves you guessing/cheated, as is so often the case with more modern films!
No spoilers!

It may seem mean to give a film a 1* rating, and I would'nt normally do this if the film was made on a shoestring budget... but this film was'nt made on a shoestring budget. It was pulled from it's original scheduled airing, and I think I know why... it's not just crap... it's embarrassing.
I can only surmise that the film producers needed to waste a load of money for reasons unbeknown to the wider world.
Sometimes we watch films with an "All Star" cast thinking, "So and So" (whoever) would'nt act in a crap film, but here, one would be mistaken.
Sadly, this is happening all too often, and begs the question "Why" ?
