Clare O Sublime. This film is just sublime loveliness and makes me cry like a baby. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a classic film when it came out, and its a classic now. Such a lovely charming film that still holds up. Great cast, and a story of innocence, childhood, and that part of the world between childhood and adulthood. I havent seen any of the remakes of this film- I dont need t0. The 70s version is always my to go version of this story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member In a class of its own! What more can I say?! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Possibly the most delightful & enchanting film it has been my pleasure to watch & I have done so on many, many occasions. Quite brilliant! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review William L I must be one of about six people on the planet that don't like this movie. Maybe chalk it up to waiting too long past adolescence before first viewing, but the film feels too virtuous, cheesy, and sickly sweet to actually be good; it's a work of almost Victorian ideals, told episodically in a Sunday School format in which the three angelic children demonstrate whatever moral uprightness the author deems timely. It is well-made and wholesome as all get-out, sure, but also very childish even for a classic family film. I'm sure many will find the rolling hills of the English countryside and the simplicity to provide some sort of nostalic escape, but the sweetness approaches saccharine. (2.5/5) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/20 Full Review Audience Member It's strange. As someone who has found it hard to cry (in real situations or watching a film), I find myself welling up at the scene when "daddy" appears out of steam. I know it's coming - yet up come the tears It's a lovely film, though I can't resist a wry smile, at the supposed "tough" life they have to "endure" in their country dwelling while father is in prison. True deprivation this is not. ....but it's so well made, that u almost wish u could be transported to this place, only a few years before WW1......as long as you had your antibiotics and a smattering of servants!
