Un demi-siècle nous sépare

This Hallmark romance is notable for its fantasy elements that relate to an aberration in the time continuum. That aspect reminds me of "Somewhere in Time."

Brian Connor (Rob Estes) temporarily relocates in Maine for a business assignment. He is a no nonsense kind of guy. A local real estate agent suggests he buy a neglected cottage rather than lease a modern, urban space. Though it is against his nature, something about the property draws him in. And in the process of renovation, he finds a locket that triggers a mysterious adventure that has romantic consequences.

The story holds up despite the complications of time displacement. And the transformation of Brian's personality is believable. This is a different kind of romance, but most Hallmark fans should enjoy it.

Regular film watchers of the Hallmark channel will notice that this house is the real star ! The front exterior has, in different guises, been featured in many films - from a country retreat, a French villa in Summer Villa, a dilapidated mansion to name a few.

This film is delightful and well worth watching.

I love this movie. It's a true romance. I found the movie on the Hallmark Channel and recorded it several months ago. Finally got a chance to see it today. I'm shocked I hadn't heard of it before.

The best part of this movie is that the romance doesn't include any sex scenes. Instead, it's a true love story that isn't drippy or crass. This movie satisfied the romantic in me without being embarrassed while watching. It's a movie even my husband (the Marine) would watch. I want a garden like that.

Of course it didn't hurt that the main character is very handsome and easy to look at. The acting is well done and very believable. I can't wait to find more movies with the some of the same actors.

The Edge of the Garden (2011)

Looking for a fun romantic fantasy for an evening together with a loved one.

Light and easy to follow has all the needed elements an unhappily married woman. A gardener who understands the stress of moving from the city to Maineand tries to help the wife emotionally deal with a demanding husband. A young urban professional who's new job takes him to Maine and purchases the Maine home nearly 50 years after the original couple had abandoned the home.

I think you would be delighted. Add to the fantasy a Maine ghostly mystery that transverses three generations and I think this movie will keep your attention.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

If you suspend belief and just let yourself be entertained by it's simple,heart-warming message,you will be transported back to a more innocent time and place..in your heart and mind. Another reviewer asked if it was possible for hyacinths and roses to be flowering at the same time. In the north,yes.Both bloom in the spring,hyacinths in early spring and roses in mid-spring.. with that said nothing should detract from simply enjoying this as a simple romantic pleasure with a twist..Don't worry about endings or plausibility.Simply let yourself enjoy the period dialogue,mannerisms,cars,and great performances by the two lead characters. Anyone who became a romantic fan of Somewhere in Time or The Love Letter will find enjoyment in the adaption of impossible love..somewhere in the garden.Highly encourage you to see this.
