It doesn't work, but Otto performs heroically, sustaining the character of Julie to the movie's final moments.

Rated: 2.5/4

At the halfway stage I was convinced I was watching a film that would blow audiences away, but it just couldn't hold things at that standard for the full running time.

Part lousy TV movie-of-the-week, part bodice-ripper, part emotional hooey.

Just watch this movie. So predictable but a very beautiful escape from life's problems. Completely predictable and ridiculous to the point of being silly but the characters are very likable. There's a border collie named Batman and it's filed on Nova Scotia 🌊 which appears like a character in this film. Strong positive Christian message - serious pagan humanist magical vibes. Fun! One of my favorite songs featured.😍 Camilla Luddington is truly magical as Cecelia.

I thought Miranda Otto was very good in this movie. It is one of those movies that I still think about from time to time.

Strange but entertaining and twisted film. Leaves you wondering and shoked. It will keep you watching and satisfied. 21/2 to 3 stars.
