Brief synopsis of Rosamunde Pilcher's Winter Solstice

Dramatic adaptation of Rosamunde Pilcher's best-selling novel. When Oscar Blundell suffers a double tragedy, he accepts an invitation to take over a rambling old house in Scotland, taking Elfrida Phipps, his friend and neighbour, with him. As the house becomes a magnet for waifs and strays, it seems to weave a magic spell for Elfrida and Oscar.

Rated - 2 starsTrite and Predictable

I am not sure if the acting was that bad or it was the adaptation but in any case I am amazed I stayed awake. I knew what was coming 5 minutes before it arrived and I haven't read the book.

Rated - 1 starsAbsolute Drivel!

Can't imagine why it was ever made into a film. Acting was dreadful as was the story. Don't waste your time on this one.

With all those actors in it should have been a good film, even though it was predictable mush. They might just as well have been reading their lines from a cue card - even Sinead Cusack was pretty dire. Dreadful acting, silly, far fetched storyline - one to miss. On the plus side, the Scottish scenery was very nice.

Lots of well-known actors, and rather predictable what would happen. Overall easy viewing for winding down.
