With Or Without You
This British drama, directed by Michael Winterbottom, focuses on a couple who desperately want to have a baby. Vincent (Christopher Eccleston) and Rosie (Dervla Kirwan) have thrown away the condoms, redecorated the spare room, but seem unable to produce a child even after adopting a healthier lifestyle; loose clothing, green vegetables and programmed sex. The strain on their relationship is further increased by the arrival of a penfriend.

Originally titled Old New Borrowed Blue, this low-key, Belfast-based drama from Wonderland director Michael Winterbottom has Dervla Kirwan and Christopher Eccleston as a young couple desperate to start a family. When an old French pen pal of hers (Yvan Attal) turns up out of the blue, the tension that has been building between them threatens to capsize their marriage. Though the film went straight to video in the UK, Winterbottom's perceptive study of the power plays between husband and wife is definitely worth a watch. Writer John Forte does not shy away from Ulster's age-old sectarian divisions, but neither does he let them interfere with the refreshing seam of optimism that runs through this gentle gem.

Disappointing
Not up to Michael Winterbottom's usual standard's, a pretty trite story, predictable ending and decent enough turns from the cast.
Just disappointing overall, not worth bothering about. -
