Archipelago
With her son Edward (Tom Hiddleston) about to embark on a volunteer trip to Africa, doting mother Patricia (Kate Fahy) wants to give him a good send-off, and gathers her family together for a getaway to a holiday home on idyllic Tresco, one of the Isles of Scilly. Edward's father's attendance is eagerly anticipated, though sister Cynthia (Lydia Leonard) appears to be there under some duress, going through dutiful motions. Cook Rose (Amy Lloyd) is happy to tend to the family, though her presence causes some discomfort. The holidaymakers spend their time walking, cycling, taking picnics and being tutored in oil painting, appreciating the breathless beauty of their surroundings. Gradually, deep fractures within the family set-up begin to surface.

So .... What was the point of that?
What a load of tosh! A wasted evening - would have gained more had I lain flat on the sofa and gazed at the ceiling for 2 hours.

Drying Paint
I would have been more stimulated watching paint dry. After an hour of very little happening I gave up. I cannot think of anything good about the film.

Intelligent, subtle, and subtly troubled British upper-class life - Virginia Woolf would have recognized herself here

I really wouldn't bother with this...
This film was very very dull, just so slow... I ended up doing a crossword whilst watching it - clearly a bad sign. This is going to sound contradictory but ... read more »
