A definite tearjerker. However, I wasn't moved. Intellectually I knew that I was SUPPOSED to be moved by what I was seeing on-screen, but emotionally, it just didn't get to me. Maybe it was the stoic reaction of most of the actors. Or maybe it was because I could see it all coming a mile away.
It's definitely not a bad film, but I expected so much more, based on what I had heard. As others have already noted, Emily Mortimer does a great job. There are also plenty of pretty shots of Scotland (at least I thought so, as an American). But I wouldn't tell anyone to go out of their way to see this one.
