Scott M A 23 year old dreamy looking Kate Winslet. The spectacular Moroccan cinematography. Absolutely no story whatsoever. So much potential wasted. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Audience Member Kate Winslet is very good here being a mother with two daughters in a foreign land abandoning her English privileged idealism With the prospect of no money and no husband she makes her way as best she can in Marrakesh 1972 finding some spiritual enlightenment Beautiful scenery and a worthy performance by Winslet herself makes a very uncompromising impression Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Audience Member The only reason for one and a half stars was the fact that Kate Winslet starred in it!!! Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Frances H Interesting and well acted. Both of the children in particular, were very appealing. Haven't read the Esther Freud book, but just may, after seeing this film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/14 Full Review Audience Member bleh. turned it off half way thru Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member First and foremost, the movie has nothing to do with its name. It is based on Esther Freud's novel of the same name. It's a simple and nice partial journey of a hippie (by heart) English woman along with her two kid daughters. And this journey of hers is solo and not in a group or caravan. She is a gypsy by heart who is absolutely untouched by money and grandeur. What she seeks for her daughters and herself is the true meaning of life and the opportunity to live life as it is intended to be lived i.e. with the soul. Morocco as the movie background serves as a good setting for such a storyline. Kate with her divine face has acted well. Actually it does not feel that she is acting at all. Maybe somewhere she believes in the character. An interesting study that you find in the movie is the impact of a hippie lifestyle on the children. It is amusing to see the elder daughter argue with her mother (the protagonist) to get her admitted to school in spite of her mother's nonchalance to do the same! The movie clearly shows the ease with which they adapt to any new environment, get attached to people, provide and seek assistance at the drop of a hat and are at absolute ease without any money! All in all, it is an interesting movie to watch if you wish to understand the actions and reactions of a gypsy soul. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
