best xmas film i,ve seen in a long while, a real tearjerker
This is a watch with the family sentimental Christmas film based at the time of WW1.
The scenes are well set and the lighting very atmospheric with fine acting from the kids but it somehow lacks the impact you get with A Wonderful Life.
It is a gently done heartwarming story and unabashed tearjerker so keep a box of tissues handy for the family.
Joely Richardson very good as the stiff upper lip mother and Luke Ward-Wilkinson excellent as the son.
Well worth watching but only rates good in my estimate.
