Robin Buss Independent (UK) What makes it different from those other Film Four period dramas? Not enough. Nov 2, 2022 Full Review Hugo Davenport Daily Telegraph (UK) Somehow the emotions are never properly engaged and at last the whole enterprise fades away like so much chill Irish mist. Nov 2, 2022 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) If John Ford's The Quiet Man explains why the Irish yearn to return home, December Bride explained why they emigrated in the first place.

Audience Member A nicely understated drama of love, will, independence, morals, and feminist/masculine stereotypes located in scenic Ireland with a thickly accented dialog. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't exactly explain why I liked this movie so much. Part of it was trying to pick up the Irish-accented dialogue. It was cinema verite circa 1900 Ireland. The scenery was a character itself. I think a lot of the movie happened "off screen" and was very true to its novel adaptation I think for that reason. Definitely worth an hour-and-a-half. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
