Customer Reviews

a moving piece which both shocked and impressed me.
dont let the 18 certificate give you any predetermined opinions of this film. although there is some more graphic sexual scenes involving the two women the film is about so much more. the running soundtrack by the cranberries is the most impressive thing about the film as each song has been placed at the most poigniant parts of the film bringing tears to my eyes on more than one occasion. the script is simple but long speeches are not needed as the scenes speak for themselves. i cant emphasise how touching the final scenes are where the love of these two women comes to a tragic consequence. no other film has left such a strong memory.

Not easy, but worth watching
This is an almost unforgettable film, one for the crazy arty section of your collection, and one that probably won't appeal to all tastes - but it is worth seeing. Remarkable plot, characters and location. For me the most memorable thing is probably the cinematography - England's Lancashire plain is a bizarrely beautiful place of emptiness, and well known for being almost impossible to photograph.

Only misses out on five stars for being Difficult. File somewhere near Peter Greenaway and My Own Private Idaho.
