The is my all time favourite movie! It is beautifully acted with a strong cast that portray each character as I genuinely imagine them to be. The scenery was stunning and quaintly elegant while the landscape was modest but dramatic simultaneously. The original score by Patrick Doyle is truly a masterpiece, capturing the emotion and sense of the film in harmonious perfection. While I have read the book and cannot deny that there are some considerable differences, I still greatly enjoy the beauty of the cinematography, the poetic and sensible screenwriting, the lovely music, and the story of two women against a beautiful backdrop. I would absolutely recommend this movie to anyone.
