 One of My Favourite Movies Of All Time! January 7, 1999
hurricane@mpinet.net (Altamonte Springs, FL)

I first heard about this movie in the review section of the local paper when it first came out. It got the reviewers highest rating, which sent up the first red flag for me, because 95% of the time, if he rates it 5 stars, and it isn't action-adventure, it is usually heinous by my measure. I therefore did not see it in the theater. Big Mistake. While it does not lose too much in the translation to small screen, (At least I don't think it would), it kept me from knowing this wonderful movie for a year. I finally saw it on video, and was instantly captivated. If you can understand what is being said (no mean feat sometimes, the accents can throw you for a loop), this understated little gem will instantly sweep you off your feet. Especially engaging was Colm Meany (Of Star Trek:The Next Generation and Star Trek:Deep Space Nine fame, as Morgan The Goat (The village has a lot of people living there with the same first name, so the villigers identify certain people by their occupation, or other things describing them (your guess as to why they call Morgan "the goat", he runs the motel in town)). He, and the preacher were the two standouts in the movie. SEE IT is all I can say, and I can't say it with enough passion.
 You can spend two hours in Welish countryside. August 23, 1998

This rather new Hugh Grant's movie is excellent. The background is WWI but there is almost no war scene. (The shadow is always there. But not in the front.) The silent Welsh countryside is the stage and its villagers are funny and keen. The protagonist is not Hugh but the village.If you would like to spend a night with a good movie. Please try. END
