christopher s Sep 2 A profoundly beautiful and moving film. Superb performances by Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, and the entire cast. The tragedy, obvious from the beginning, comes to an end with a revelation that one cannot possibly have foreseen. A wrenching, powerful, sad and so inevitable a story. See more 01/17/2022 Aunque pude adivinar el giro final, llegar hasta ahí fue un viaje interesante. Cada personaje tiene un conflicto propio que podría devenir en más historias, aunque no se pierde tiempo en ello, tan sólo se presentan como otras piezas vivas alrededor de la historia principal. El personaje de O'Hara (Alan Rickman) aparece un poco tarde, pero sin duda se convierte el punto fuerte del filme. Fue agradable ver a Hugh Grant en el personaje de Meredith, carismático y detestable a la vez.

It's a wonderful film full of great performances, including Hugh Grant's best ever. I've read a lot of reviews that say it was a poor follow up to Four Weddings, but those people miss the point. This is not a comedy, it is a drama and Four Weddings doesn't come into the same league as this film. See more 09/05/2020 Based on Beryl Bainbridge's title of the same title which is a nod to J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan, Mike Newell tells a teenage girl's coming of age and sexual awakening when working backstage at a postwar Liverpool theatrical troupe with wry poignancy and bleakness. See more 01/29/2020 Considering the source material and cast this film was an awfully big disappointment. See more 11/07/2013 Dull and drawn out. Nothing happens for the first 95% of the movie, and then everything happens at the end. The conclusion is so swift and left-field it is like you're watching another movie. Pacing is ridiculously bad. Title is very inappropriate, as it implies an adventure story or at least a comedy. It is nothing of the sort. Good performance by Alan Rickman in the lead role. Hugh Grant plays the bad guy, and does it well. Georgina Cates is OK as Stella. See more Read all reviews
