Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

fastnicolasklin 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.

Delibero 10 ********** rating. SUPER SPOILER ALERT 2 I understand Suzy Gallup's reasonable opinion about not wanting her daughter to watch the antics of a potentially adulterous couple but this compelling relationship between "Ron and Rose" is not about a one night stand for physical pleasure etc. and their passionate affair has not yet been "consummated." Each of the main characters is satisfying the pent up emotional and depressed needs of the other. Barry Devlin is a brilliant writer and the follow up to the passionate kiss on the road has not yet been aired. Hopefully, for all concerned wisdom, experience and love of family will prevail over the irresistible passion of fanciful love. Teenagers should watch this show and the subject should be discussed if they are willing to do so of course. Our kids know that adults and parents are not perfect but they might not know that falling in love is not always expected or avoidable. Married people that wish to remain loyal to their spouse and family need to be keenly aware of the possibility and know when to stop interacting with a co-worker, a neighbor, a "liaison officer or married woman" etc when the unexpected attraction becomes more than the usual friendly banter. If it does, it is difficult to stop because it is exciting and emotionally gratifying to continue. As Rose said,(paraphrased) "I tried to tell myself that not seeing you was for the best." The Captain replied, "It was for the best." Their virtuous, rational sides know it is wrong but they failed to stop their interactions earlier when it would have still been hard to do so but easier than later. The outcome hinges on which love will prevail over the other. Rose's love for Michael and her kids or for the fanciful "Yankee Heathcliff."In a world with an overabundance of hate and violence, it is bizarre to me that loving another person can also be so destructive and life altering. It is a subject worthy of a family discussion as are many other elements and story lines in this brilliant series in Moybeg. (ie. The fabulous Hattie Morahan should win an Oscar and Vera's story starting before she was married would be a great Fiona Button series by itself. 2 great actresses at their very best)

seggerman 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.

Prismark10 This five part drama set during the second world war in rural Ireland follows the fortune of the Coyne family after a US air force base has been set up nearby.Narrated by the grown up son, Francis, the focus is on Rose Coyne the displaced Englishwoman, A loyal wife, mother of three children who has left a glamorous and educated world behind to be in Ireland with her husband Michael who runs a pub. Michael might run a few scams but he is a decent man and but the dullness she feels in her life hits home when she encounters the thoughtful and educated US air base liaison officer Captain Ronald Dreyfus.At first they have casual chit chats, the Americans are seen as being brash and their presence in the village meets with resentment from the locals and it is Captain's Dreyfus's job to smooth things over. Over time both feel passion for each other which they try to keep in check as both are married.This is a nice twee drama, not very original and rather predictable. The final episode hints that there is more to come, I think the story should had stopped at the fifth episode.
