Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

rebeccas-iris I like the actress and actor but the writer OhMy. He protrays first, elderly women as morons. Then as you continue to watch he portrays all English people as morons. Really? Then continues his story to suggest all elderly men and ladies are immoral perverts. I think the story is insulting. And discussing.

MartinHafer Two elderly sisters (Maggie Smith and Judi Dench) live along the Cornish coast in England. One evening a violent storm erupts and the next morning a young man has washed ashore on the beach. The sisters manage to get him to their cottage and when he awakens it slowly becomes apparent that the guy is Polish. Now here's where it gets a little odd. Instead of just nursing him back to health and sending him on his way, the women hold on to Andrea (Daniel Brühl). Essentially, instead of adopting a new dog or cat, the pair adopt a young man! What is to become of this? And, who exactly is he and how did he get to Cornwall?So is this film any good? Yes...which isn't surprising considering it stars Dench and Smith--two amazing actresses. Likewise, the music (which makes up a great deal of the film) is lovely. In fact, I have no real complaints and the film is original. Worth seeing.

dara-fink Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones) amply demonstrates that he understands how to tell a great story. There are no tense action sequences to drag missing plot elements along. Just a well told story masterfully acted by (arguably) some of the best female actors in cinema history.One surprising element is how music seamlessly integrates into the narrative. Although the person performing the pieces isn't actually playing, the illusion is good enough.For people with very short attention spans or requiring fast paced action, this film just isn't for you. This is no action flick. It is a charming story of how a chance house guest changes the lives of the sisters and their town.For anyone wanting a quiet evening of even-paced, masterfully acted, work of film: it is a sure bet.

aaycrkes Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the most boring film I have ever seen. Words cannot describe how slow and dull it is. I really feel like I wasted an hour and a half (or whatever it was ) of my life when I watched this. Literally nothing happens. Whoever wrote this should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. It is somehow masquerading as one of those period dramas where not much has to happen as its all so wonderfully subtle. This is not subtle, it is terrible. Some films offend me because of how terrible the plots are. They get a 3 out of 10. This film gets a 1 because it doesn't even have a plot. The writer created a drab plot and thought that casting two of the finest English actresses would turn it into a classic. The dames' performances are fine, but with a plot this mundane it really doesn't matter to me. I will never get the time I spent watching this back. I strongly urge anyone considering this film, to watch something/ anything else.
