Some great acting and wonderful romantic story to start with, young man fantasising about an older woman, falls in love etc. then comes the war and their paths separate until he meets her in the war court trials and he faces great emotional turmoil in feelings for her and the atrocities of war, you may need to watch it twice as I did because I lost the plot the first time around as the stories got mixed up for me. Watching it again made a lot of sense, it's quite sad though I felt so beware.

Absolutely a brilliant film. Kate Winslet is at her best with a an excellent support of Ralph Fiennes. It is, in a way, a beautiful love story set in a tone of post-holocaust and the balance of both these aspects are managed very well in the film. The editing of the film is done very skilfully.

Interesting and thought provoking

I rented this but when it turned up was confused as thought Leonardo was going to turn up in the film at some point. ( I also had Revolutionary road on my list) I found this film both moving and interesting to watch and thought the boy was a very talented actor. A really good film to watch. But I thought the film was very moving and sad at the end.

Beutifully written

Very sad film and a very good storyline.
Kate's performance is fantastic as usual.

Would defenitely recommend the film.

Very dull

A Customer from Antrim, 12th November, 2009

Very slow, very dull and truly pointless. I am a huge Kate Winslet fan, but lately she has made a few films which really don't seem to have any point to them. This tells a story told many times and there was no fresh perspective. The relationship with the boy was interesting, but really this film did little for me.

Amazing

i thought this film was really good and would reccomend it to others. the connection between the characters was brilliant. i enjoyed the story line and even cried a little at the end.

This was a brilliant film... Although it is cast as a LOVE STORY it unfolds in the most unique and unlikely way. I love Kate Winslet and have never seen her in a roll quite like this one... superb! The story will have you curious right from the get go and you will have no idea where it will lead.... a definate MUST SEE

Disappointing

Unable to engage with the characters and their situations. Waste of time for me. Not oscar worthy

True Story

Joby from from Uckfield, 10th November, 2009

Every now and again a film comes around that is very good, but this one is great, superb acting and a very sad movie. This is a film that you must see time and time again.
