Brief synopsis of Puffball

A young ambitious architect buys a ruined cottage to transform. But, the building, in an isolated Irish valley, has a history. And, when she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant the neighboring farmers turn against her and her unborn child and try to change the course of nature. A drama with supernatural overtones, a thriller about love, life, grief and sex, "Puffball" is an adaptation of the Fay Weldon novel of the same name.

Rated - 2 starsnot good, dont expect anthing great

A customer from England , 12/07/2008

very disappointing considering Roegs other works

wikipedia states this to be a £7,000,000 production, that just cant be true. looks like a made for tv movie but worse, honestly im not being cynical, its just bad.

if i rated 'dont look now' as harshly as i could (but i cant cos its great), puffball would still be thousands of time worse, please let me know if i am missing something here

id wait for the rest of the bad reviews to come in first before you go see it, like i did.

at least watch some trailers or clips on youtube before you entrust this film with entertaining you for an evening

i recommend spending your money on roegs better works if youve not seen them
