Review from a Yorkshire lass

What a tear jerker which brough out so many emotions within me. I am still thinking about it now. Although my heart went out to Tom who lost three male influences in his life. I felt for his Mum as not only did she have to endure the loss of her husband and potentially their home , she had to deal with her two sons. The one son going off to the army and all the trauma and heartache around Tom. She was one strong woman, whom I admired to the end. The beautiful Yorkshire Dales were so beautiful, it made me think of how anything bad could happen around their beauty and brought a smile to my face. Being from Yorkshire myself but not having lived there for a very long time, I loved the accents especially Als, his reminded me of my dad who is no longer with us and every time he spoke I had a lump in my throat. Great film, great location, loved it

Compelling story...

Hadn't intentionally set out to watch this film, but on a rainy bank holiday Monday happened upon it... And what a joy..... It reels you in, keeps you hooked and has the most heartwarming story at its heart. It has a little bit of everything - highs and lows, fun and laughter. I'm not from Yorkshire, but the film makes you feel like your home...

A decent effort, but...

Fairly routine plot, nicely handled , though with a fair few amateurish touches. All those friends of the participants who have been drafted in to give the film ten stars have their hearts in the right place, but I am not a Yorkshire bloke and, with the best will in the world, I cannot see this very decent film getting more than 7 out of 10 from a competent critic. Methinks that lot doth protest too much!

Truly Wonderful

The mark of an excellent film in my mind is that it touches every emotion, whether you want it to or not. This film saddens, it gladdens, it's thought provoking, full of pathos, full of realism, beautiful scenery, compelling and the spirit of Yorkshire through and through. Without discussing the plot I urge you to watch this film and make up your own mind. I loved it.

Simply Beautiful

Beautiful, just beautiful. Beautiful story, beautiful acting (absolutely amazing everyday people pulling off Oscar worthy performances) stunning cinematography, & perfectly suited score. Spawned a great discussion for our library's Film Critics Club, & received 2 thumbs up from all!

Quiz
The film is dedicated to the memory of Al Boughen, 1933-2010, the real-life park ranger who inspired the character of Al Thorpe, and who was mentor to director Dan Hartley when he was a teenager, in the same way that Al Thorpe is to Tom Proctor in the film.

Blooper
When Tom runs away from the fair, the shot has been reversed, as evidenced by the backward "NO EXIT" sign and vehicle license plate.

Citazioni
[Tom is working for Al, the National Park ranger. He doesn't want to be there and thinks it is a waste of time. Al shows him how to saw a length of wood for a new stile he is making]
Al Thorpe: You ever used a saw before, lad?
Tom Proctor: [sullenly] Maybe.
Al Thorpe: Aye. Come over here and I'll show you how.
[Al rests his hand on the wood with his thumb sticking out. He rests the blade of the saw against the tip of his thumb]
Al Thorpe: See how I use me thumb to guide it.
Tom Proctor: [horrified] I could cut me thumb off!
Al Thorpe: No you *won't*! Now listen! All you're doing is establishing the cut. Once you've got a groove, you move your thumb out of the way. And then that's when you start to saw properly.
[sound of Al sawing]
Al Thorpe: Right. You got that?
[Tom looks away, bored]
Al Thorpe: Come on, then. *You* do it.
Tom Proctor: [mutters] Child bloody labour.
Al Thorpe: [sternly] Listen, lad. Ten weeks, me and thee have got together. And I'll not have you standing about idle whilst *I* do all the work. You're here to help. You're *not* here for a holiday. Do you understand that?
[reluctantly, Tom begins to saw]

The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove brief images of sexualised nudity in a softcore pornographic magazine in order to obtain a 12A classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.
