Reviews
New York Times - ...[The film] luxuriously drinks in a magnificent desolation that conjures up somber thoughts of mortality and human loss..., Box Office - ...Rickman has brought the cloistered stage play to vibrant life...his work with the actors is universally superb..., Evening Standard - A luminous experience[...]funny and moving, Rolling Stone - ...[Law and Thompson] give touchingly true performances..., USA Today - ...The actresses share looks and even body language..., Sight and Sound - ...Ravishing, resonant images.....What is most striking about Rickman's debut is his control of mood, delicately teasing out the metaphorical possibilities of freezing and ice..., Entertainment Weekly - "...A poetic, affecting film....[Law and] Thompson transcend..." -- Rating: B+

This book arrived with another one on which I've already commented, so I give the same comment here. Excellent ebayer. The product arrived on time and was in the condition described. It was also a hardback book, whereas I thought I had ordered a paperback. It was excellent value for money as a paperback and so it is many time more than that as a hardback. Thank you Baham Books, excellent service all round.

  • A cradle of warmth in a land of ice

    This movie is a masterpiece. A touching tale of generations just failing to find their answers. Slow and serene; chill out in a big chill. Set in deepest winter in a Scottish coastal village, it begs the question of just who is the guest ? For some, it's lost youth and fumbled relationships, for others it's life experience yet to be, for another, it's a life that's gone and can't be recovered. Magnificent cinematography of a silent land, closed in and smothered by nature. The whole is underscored by Elizabeth Frazer's hauntingly beautiful melody "Take me with you". If you like the walls pounding with action, this isn't for you. 9/10.
