A tale of love lost and never found

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2009)

A good adaptation of a British novel. The movie is for people who are looking for some intense drama and a touching romantic film.
The movie starts through the eyes of a girl aged 13 of the affair between her elder sister and her lover. And, her misinterpretation of a series of events which changes the course of all three of their lives. The visuals of the movie depicting the country-side are very pleasing. At the same time, it also depicts the suffering of the British soldiers during the World War II in a heart wrenching way.
The movie in some frames moves back and forth and some frames move pretty fast. So, watch out for it. The highlight of the movie is its last thirty-forty minutes. At the end of the movie you would say, "We simply don't have any control of most of the things in our lives and there is no atonement for some mistakes".
