Four Letters of Love

We hadn't heard of the film before we went to see it on a Monday night in summer, but the cast made it look promising.

Right up to the last 15 minutes this was a slow, dull, grim 5/10 watch and only getting 5 stars for the scenery and cast.

Helena Bonham Carter possibly masters an Irish accent better than Pierce Brosnan (who IS Irish, but been a long time away!), but both made a good job of their characters. The cinematography of the stunning Irish coastline is absolutely captivating.

Then suddenly, in the last 15 minutes at the end, it became a great film! No spoilers - but would I watch it again? Nope!

I don't even know where to start, so much emotion was shown in this film. From sadness, to laughter here and there and then finally - love. I'll admit, tears were close but overall the film was amazing. The cast did a perfect job and I love the twist of Helena (who's from London) in a fully Irish film. I fear no one could've done a better job than Helena in this. I've been excited for this ever since the trailer released and I couldn't wait to watch it. Yes, I'll admit, the only thing at the time that drew me closer to watching it was Helena AND the fact that it was filmed in Ireland. Also love that it's based off the book too.
