This is definitely a chic-flick, but a very good one. Angelica Huston's Irish accent is absolutely fabulous (her bio says she went to school in Ireland). Angelica and her co-star Marion O'Dwyer bond very well together; I felt like I was glimpsing into a real true-life friendship. There is a very funny scene between the two when they are comparing their romances that is sure to make even the strictest of movie critics crack a smile. And the 7 children that play Angelica Huston's kids are an asset to the movie.

This is an endearing, quality independent film for those of us who love a good drama as well as some good chuckles! I am looking forward to reading the trilogy novels by Brendan O'Carroll--which was the basis of this film.

This is the first movie I've seen directed by Peter Greenaway, and I'll be interested in keeping an eye open for his other movies. The visualization of the movie enchanted me until the very end. And the plot is a welcome change from the predictable, mediocre Hollywood-produced movies. For anyone who has an appreciation of artistic creativity, check this one out.
