    A Breath Of Fresh Air

    What a revelation this was. With the current taste for ever more spectacular special effects and bucketloads of gore in our film industry, it was a joy to sit down and watch this beautiful gentle film. Yes I know there are already two filmed versions of this story, but if there was ever a case for a remake then this production certainly proves it. The basis is a wonderful story, guaranteed to tug at the heartstrings of even the most cynical of us but the main contribution comes from the cast. What a line up! Jenny Agutter is great as always (how strange it must have been for her,playing the mother of her former character), the ever reliable and much underrated Michael Kitchen and a stunning performance from Jemima Rooper - wouldn't we all like our daughters to turn out like that? All this and a fine supporting cast to boot! I'm going to buy this film, for those ever more common moments when I need my faith in human nature restoring...

    A good movie, but maybe not necessary

    It's beautiful and heart-warming, lovely story, everyone did his/her part very well. Given the fact that the old version is so good, one may wonder why bother to repeat......
