In response to zolazona, glad I was not the only one who noticed her eyes popping, mouth and facial tics as they were distracting. Will have to watch check out something else she has been in to see if this is the norm or just this series. And yes, a rather abrupt ending so if there is no more it is up to our imagination.

To begin with the scenery is beautiful. I love being able to feel like I am part of the community there. Until this movie I didn't have any idea about Ireland and it's part in the Second World War. A somehow interesting plot with some good actors and a wonderful village in Ireland. Could have been better, could have been worse but in the end you won't regret it.

This movie got really great reviews on Amazon and is rated PG, so I thought it would be pretty wholesome to watch with my 16 year old daughter. I was very disappointed to find that the core of the story is about two married people that apparently fall in love. This is just not what I like to see. It made me feel bad to watch a woman make choices that would devastate her good husband and children. I hated the thought of her hurting them all. I once saw "Bridges of Madison County" and also disliked it very much. If you like stories of adultery, then you might like this. Everything else about it is gorgeous. The acting, the scenery, the costumes, and everything are high standards. Just not the story! So disappointing because I LOVE Hattie Morahan as Elinor in Sense and Sensibility.

Most of the Connecticut suburbs northwest of New York City up until nearly the end of the 20th century were operating under what was referred to as a gentleman's agreement. Jewish families were kept from moving into certain towns - New Canaan being the WORST of these. No way would a family names Dreyfuss (Jewish, or Jewish sounding) would be shown houses in New Canaan at that time. He would either live in a nearby city, like Stamford, home to one Lieberman family, whose son should have been vice President, or Westport, which alone among its neighbors allowed Jews to live there.
