John S. I’ve been rewatching around every 5 years and it’s way up on my best-of-ever list. And usually something forgotten or new to appreciate. Like the Ruskie’s capitalist bent, or a young Peter Capaldi debuting & Marina’s mermaid tail revealed at the end. And obviously the soundtrack & Ceilidh music too!

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Douglas G It's a quietly beautiful movie that you will enjoy and sometimes laugh; lots of subtle humor. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/30/25 Full Review Steve B Trying real hard to hit a couple of viewpoints but mostly fails because of a quirky script and weak attempts at humor. It has a fantasy vibe that pleases some. Bert Lancaster gives it some weight......the quaint Scottish townspeople have some appeal. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Elmer B About fifteen years ago I decided that this would be my favourite film of all time, and I still maintain that today. The film it's a reflection of the very early 80s, where it seemed like nothing bad could happen. The subtle underlying surrealist touch, as well as Mark Knofler's unforgettable soundtrack, elevate the film to new heights. Obviously, it's not a film that can be understood by those born in the 21st century, with their hasty TikTok mentality. Possibly, it is not even understandable for those under 40.
