A thought provoking film that proves that getting married and having kids isnโt for everyone. A woman of the era and what society is expected from her. When she realises this is not really what she wants she plans for a more free spirited life and is hopeful that her dreams will come true . I think this film will resonate with people who really know that the choices we all make can have a profound effect on your well-being and your life. Brilliantly acted by both characters especially Kate Winslet . I found this film very touching and it stayed with me for quite a few hours after watching it. Although I did not think so at the time back in (2008) after watching it a second time I think it is a truly an unforgettable film. I felt a great sympathy sadness and understanding for both characters.
