Scarborough

I believe most people followed the rules in the society make us want to cross the line deep down and do things forbidden. It may be the reason makes audience enjoy this film. I personally didn't get much moved by the story except enjoy the scenery in Scarborough. That's it!

Not bad storyline(s). However, why did they have 16 year old Beth act like an 8 year old brat? I get it, they want to portray her as being young but this is way overboard and farfetched. I have a very difficult time believing someone like Aiden would be in love with or even be attracted to such a child - and I don't mean teenager, I mean child.

As far as Liz, totally predictable but more entertaining. I would have liked to see this couple more.

I gave this movie a 4 star rating. One storyline could be a 7 (Liz) the other (Aiden) is a 2.

The acting by the "adults" is actually pretty good. The teens? Not so much.

...maybe because I am an 45 age old teacher and the situation seems to be not real eccentriic, maybe because the intersection of the two love stories is decent, maybe because the revelation is little predactible. Or for not bad acting. A hotel, two couples , beautiful cinematography, moral dilemmas and not awful end. Enough for a reasonable film who, without be memorable, has the virtue to be more than good.

Evocative & real, this was a surprisingly touching little film. The four leads were all good, but it was the female teacher / male pupil pairing that worked best for me. I really felt the teacher's struggle with the situation, life frustration & the specific challenge she faces - and the pupil's simplistic, optimistic and earnest outlook on life.

Surprising & touching. Well worth a viewing...

This movie I came for Jess Bardem. But it hooked me from the first siene. Out of season sea side, four leading characters, two or one story line, twisting time line. It's nice move for good fieldings and thoughts. We should score it up!!!
