What a dreary movie, but a safe one to say you "loved." Because it has Irish or Scottish scenery (yes, that's good) and because it has Meryl Streep in it (phony badge of authenticity - she is soooo pure!). If this movie were authentic, it wouldn't have needed the famous American actress in it to bring in the viewers. And its previews would have included a hint of the other dreary 90% of the story, instead of the very few moments of life it had.
Streep is no stranger to phony films; look at "The Deer Hunter."
