Friday Night at the Movies


You would think that being retired, I'd be at the movies every day.  But alas, I think this may be the first movie I've seen since I retired!  (Not for lack of movies I've wanted to see - it's harder than you think to get away when you aren't on a definite schedule!!)

But we walked to the Krikorian tonight and saw this.  I had seen the trailer this summer and so got the book on Kindle.  The book was pretty good but somewhat slow-moving.  A little more introspective than I'd imagined.  The movie is slow-moving too, but in a good way.  Seems like movies can drift along and hold your attention more than the printed word can do that.

The actors in the ensemble are great.  It's definitely a British film - but then I love British films.  I also loved that it started in 1963 - our era!!

I would recommend it highly.  A love story gone awry, but once again all's well that ends well.
