Audience Member Decent romance movie set in Spanish Civil War. Not great with a young but sexy Penelope Cruz in a minor role Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating. I stumbled upon this movie by accident, but am very happy that I did. Pre-WWII Spain around the time of the fascist movement and outbreak of the civil war ... you don't see many movies about Spain around this time period... no clue why not. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member In pre-Civil War Spain an Irish governess learns about love and war (not the crap Sandra Bullock / Chris O'Donnell film, but the two constants of life). Beautiful locations and an accomplished cast life this above the average of its kind. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member i really liked this movie but so UPSET they couldnt be together....more like Becoming Jane. sigh but the love was so reall. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie. I mean can Vincent Perez get any more attractive. The story is really great. The ending kind of sucked but yeah...LOVE IT. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member RENT it! Total chick flick Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
