Sweet Film

This was a really lovely film. Frankly, I was a bit bored at the beginning and it took a while to get started, but then I was genuinely taken in with the story line, the parts that I understood that is-some of it was a little unclear. The characters were played wonderfully; by Anne Reid, Tom Burke and Elliot Cowan (or Christopher Naylor-not sure which one completely). There were some quite funny bits actually-the drunk husband and also some bits pulled hard at those heart stings. The flash backs added another depth to the film and were very intriguing, my favourite bits actually. The excerpts of voiced over stories had some lovely true meanings that can be taken away after watching. I would certainly recommend this as one to watch just for a bit of fun.

Meh

Older Barbara was totally boring, which doesn't surprise. Never read one of her bodice rippers and apparently she admitted she avoided reality in her books. Didn't know she was into herbal medicine.

I thought all the stuff about her early life was fascinating and well acted. She had a terrible domestic life and I found what she was put through infuriating. But it was what happened at that time. Interesting movie. But when I watch it again I'll be fast forwarding through anything with modern Barbara. The relationship with her brother was obviously important to her. I hope they portrayed it accurately.
