Mary F I don’t understand why this movie has critical reviews. It’s slow going at first but the movie touched me to my very core. Beautiful movie that was well made and well acted. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review ei m Spending a couple of hours on the spectacular Irish coast with superb actors and a lovely transcendent story? Yes, please. This is a movie that is a refreshing alternative to the usual depressing news feeds. My husband and I loved this intricate story written by one of our greatest living writers, Niall Williams. From a master storyteller, this is an unusual and poetic movie about searching for love and happiness. You will find yourself rooting for the young couple, especially Isabel, who is beautifully portrayed by Ann Skelly. If you are looking for the perfect escape this is a great choice.

You need to work out if it is right for you or not Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review cathy l What is it about Rotten Tomatoes, the arbiter of the fate of many a movie? Its verdict on the movie Four letters of love at 39% described as “too introspective and disjointed” (in reference to what exactly? ) is mean spirited and unimaginative. The movie has its faults but the story is not one of them. Williams reminds me of the great South American writers like Jose Garcia Marquez who was hailed as someone who stunned, moved, seduced and transformed with his magical realism. Or consider the beautiful film Like water for Chocolate likewise haunting in its magical realism. This is a love story where characters follow, call it the voice of God, their hearts or the dictates of fate. Coincidence is to the fore, like it was in Hardy’s fiction or in Greek tragedy. Viewers who consider the plot unlikely or depressing have already failed to identify the genre. The acting like the story is deeply heart felt. The scenery breath taking, though that aspect irritated some viewers as well. No body complained when Skellig Micheal in Star Wars was depicted as a mythical Jedi temple. I concede that the musical score was at times for me intrusive and took away from the narrative. The script has its own musical cadence and did not need such embellishment. Accents were dubious at times and the aran jumpers far too new and gorgeous for 1970s Irish islanders. But these aspects of the production did not take away from the overall effect of the film. It is a step into a world where the dictates of heart and soul triumph, where the human journey is depicted in all its soul searching rawness. It is a film that explores the challenging and tortuous search for love. Come on Rotten Tomatoes let go to the magic realism of it.
