Paul S It was not set in Northetn Ireland. It was set on the West coast of Ireland. Northern Ireland did not exist seperate to Eire until 1922. Sloppy work RT. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Irene M YOUWZA this movie had a sex scene that blew my mind, in terms of its being acceptable, in the early 70s. Beyond that, a great cast, amazing cinematography, how did they film during a storm? Amazing! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Helen M Snuck into this when I was 14 and I swore that if their wedding night was what sex was all about, then I was never going there! Loved this film. The scenery was magnificent and I think some critics are missing the point. The film highlights what was going on at the time in Ireland. Some of the dialogue may be a bit naff but all in all, I really enjoyed it and i think John Mills played the village idiot perfectly.... for the times that were in it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Colin M Village life on the Irish coast in 1916 as experienced by a publican's daughter who becomes amorously involved with the local schoolmaster. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Alec B Yes, its definitely the weakest of Lean's epics but I don't think its worthy of outlandish scorn. The weak elements of the film (Mills' performance, the bloated running time) hurt but don't really undo the entire production. The film is still beautifully photographed and the Irish setting for a loose adaption of Madame Bovary works really well. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Shirley S One of my all time favourite films. It is interesting to see so many comments that it is over long and I can't help but wonder if that is a reflection of the modern need for fast action and instant gratification. I never found it too long, it being so full of social commentary and the frailties and follies of people that result in cruelty and heartbreak. When I first saw it, not long after it came out, I was horrified that the great Sir John Mills played the village idiot - then I realised it was the most difficult part to play - and of course, it is visually stunning.
