The first must-see film of the year.
Blistering performances.
I wouldn't go as far as some reviewers as to say that this film is valueless. There are some interesting ideas, particularly the treatment of single mothers at the time. However the initial plot line is inexplicable and the whole thing seems under-rehearsed and rather amateurish. The acting is rather wooden at times. If comes across as a low budget production, possibly even a student project. It was not a total waste of time spent in watching it but there are certainly plenty of better films to watch.
I'm involved in a local am dram group and I can honestly say we could have done this so much better. Wooden expressionless acting, awful sets, and what on earth was the pub scene about? I kept wanting to turn it off but kept giving it a chance to get better. Sorry, but this has got to be the worst film I've ever seen. I should have known when i saw the homemade sea mine! One to avoid I'm afraid, done properly it could have been so much better.
This was very poor. Hesitant, expressionless acting. We wondered why anyone had ever presented it as viable drama. I've seen better student shows for charity. We were mesmerised by how bad it was. The Nazi commandeering the wee boat was a joke. The interviews with Sarah at the home, were sticklike. Cringe making stuff: we were embarrassed for them. The children were the best actors in it. This ought never to have reached the light of day - or the dark of night.
This is a great and authentic looking film from a new Director with a wonderful story following the plight of Sarah, from her brief encounter with a German Naval Officer in WW2 through to a time just after the war. Originally produced as a stage play Brian O'Connell has brought his heart-felt and warming project to film and follows the hardships of a single mother in post war England. This is portrayed through some fine acting from the young lead cast, some beautiful photography and wonderful directing. A beautiful film that will have you captivated from beginning to end.
