 A Beautiful Story! May 5, 2008
C. Alford (Illinios)

For BBC or Masterpiece Theater lovers, this is one that you can not pass up. It is a wonderful drama that will attract both young and old. This film is full of meaning and extremely moving to watch. I highly recommend it.
There are many kinds of love... April 24, 2008

This movie have become one of my favorites. It's a small, sweet story that's full of kindness, love, remembrances and hope. The two people who meet in this story -- a young man just beginning his life and an elderly woman who is nearly at the end of hers -- become special friends and each is the richer for it.
I can't say enough about Joan Plowright who is such an amazing actress. She is in three of my favorite movies -- this one plus "Enchanted April" and "The Summerhouse" (which unfortunately is not on DVD and is very hard to find on VHS).
If you're looking for a change from the typical fare that's being offered at the movies these days and you're longing for something simple with more meaning, give this one a try.
A story of friendship March 16, 2008

Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont is a story of all that we miss when we let generation determine friendship, and of the pain our careless disregard costs our elders. It also shows us the meanings of the words lady and gentleman.

Seldom do such movies come along. I adored this film from beginning to end. Joan Plowright is a favorite of mine and, once again, was outstanding. I wasn't familiar with her co-star Rupert Friend, but I'll be sure to look for him in future films. This May-December friendship reminds you that the little kindnesses that people do for one another aren't so little at all.

This movie was wonderfully touching, interesting to watch and listen to, and very moving. It covered lessons on love, friendship, and a topic we all fear- aging.
