Blobbo X @Blobbo Feb 23 Not unlike well-done Masterpiece theater with plenty of wry, tongue-in-cheek, subtle British humor infused throughout. See more Paul G 03/12/2024 Just about watchable as the story is reasonable but its just not funny enough. I don't think it has aged well. See more isla s 09/04/2022 This is a somewhat dull looking TV film, which is relatively watchable but, as I say, rather dull. However, I liked Ian McKellen playing the over the top minister, 'Amos Starkadder' and it features some other big British names, including Stephen Fry, Joanna Lumley, Rufus Sewell and Eileen Atkins. Its a bit like a theatre production - a slowish plot but with some good dialogue and characters. Its amusing at times but I didn't think it was very memorable - or if it is, it may be for the wrong reason(s) (the overly theatric performances given by one or two people while the rest of the production is a bit dowdy). I wouldn't specifically recommend this film as such, no, as its really not a 'full blown feature film' - unless, perhaps, you really want to see the cast as detailed above. As a TV budget/based period drama, its alright though but not really more than that. See more s r @ScottR 06/20/2022 Eccentric and witty. My cousin said that it was the best movie she had seen in decades and it was a surprise delight. It was a Pollyanna story that didn't dwell on her misfortunes, at least until later when she was highly sought after. This was a confusing part in the plot. Regardless, the quirkiness of English farm, its accents, customs and overall feel kept my interest. It's worth seeing. It was an STG DVD. See more peter w 11/03/2021 A wonderful send-up of the earnest rural depiction of D. H. Lawrence and Thomas Hardy featuring a highly confident orphan, Flora Poste (Kate Becknsale) who manages to bring big-city initiative to the hopelessly parochial Starkadder clan. Before they know it, each of the Starkadders discovers new purpose in their lives, and Flora, now finished with empowering her long-lost relatives, is ready to fly off in the great blue yonder for the next chapter of her life.
