Enjoyed this film very much, despite my usual scepticism on such subjects.

Film was beautifully made, well acted and extremely atmospheric. Would recommend it to anyone who likes to be made to "jump" in their seat!

The plot of the film was unpredictable with a clever plot. don't want to ruin the story though. But it does make you go home feeling your being looked after by someone special.

The acting was good, but many people have said that the performance was very wooden. i beg to differ as the act gave a whole feeling adding the the emotions of post-war Britain.

must watch and have a feeling this may become a classic film to watch as time goes by.
