This movie is lovely. I love classic poetry. Breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. But it didn't make me happy. Sad rather than hopeful. Even though it ended on a note of hope, it seemed sad. The note of hope was too rushed to seem real. Instead it left me confused and sad. I had to keep the sound low, so I will watch it again to give a fair judgement, maybe I'm just feeling low right now. IMDB gave it a higher rating. Probably because of Samantha Bond, whose acting was genuine and excellent. Julian Morris' character wasn't fully formed, so that was lacking. Eloise Mumford was sweet and sad, but she did a fine job. The little girl, Amy Sharp, is a very good actress and articulate, it was always nice to see her.
