majito-38235 This movie made remember a lot of "the notebook", one of my favorite movies. Very different indeed but with great similarities. I must admit I didn't understand quite few things of the story, I don't know if because I didn't pay attention myself or because they are not well explained, like why the never go to see father Gaunt being so important in the story, or why Michel was being followed if the war was over and he was a hero. Any of does detail won't deprive you to enjoy this great movie.

adonis98-743-186503 Roseanne McNulty must vacate the soon-to-be demolished mental institution in Roscommon, Ireland that she's called home for over 50 years. The hospital's psychiatrist, Dr. William Grene, is called in to assess her condition. He finds himself intrigued by Roseanne's seemingly inscrutable rituals and tics, and her fierce attachment to her Bible, which she has over the decades transformed into a palimpsest of scripture, drawings, and cryptic diary entries. As Grene delves deeper into Roseanne's past, we see her as a young woman, whose charisma proves seductive. We learn that she moved to Sligo to work in her aunt's café, fell in love with a dashing fighter pilot), and that a local priest fell tragically in love with her. Rooney Mara in my opinion is a very overrated actress and this film shows it she's really wooden and boring in most of her films with a few exceptions of course such as Side Effects or Lion. The rest of the cast doesn't do much either for example Eric Bana who just goes from one place to another doing nothing for the entire movie plus i didn't feel any emotion coming from the cast or their characters in general if you're a fan of Mara you might enjoy it but for everyone else? Skip it. (0/10)

Whitewraithe As I listen to the ending song of this film I am touched with tears of sadness and joy at the same time.This was a most unexpected film that I really did not want to watch initially because of the subject matter. Some stories are just too difficult for me to watch that deal with real life, although this was a fictional story as far as I know.The acting by the excellent cast was outstanding especially Ms. Vanessa Redgrave and Rooney Mara.The end was most unexpected and quite surprising. If this subject matter is too difficult to watch just keep watching; I promise it will be worth every minute.

smoke0 This movie should have been an utter tearjerker from start to finish and it was just nothing. Maybe it's Rooney Mara, who is more like a cold fish than a romantic heroine, maybe it's the direction, which was uninvolving, plodding and workmanlike, and maybe it's just the look of the film, which was colorless and ugly.I also could not see tiny Mara aging into huge Redgrave, but I could have easily accepted that if the film had engaged me in any way it should have.There was just no passion in this film at all, and most likely with a different director and a tighter script it would have been a classic tragic love story, instead of just a boring, forgettable waste of time.I gave it four stars just for the story, but the film really deserves far less.
