Loving Heartfelt Predictability
If you enjoy films that furtively draw you in as they gradually reveal their world, it's inhabitants and their doings, this a cinematic stopover for you. Lasse Hallström's gentle coming of age film is such a heartfelt labor of love, you quickly forgive it's obvious predictability.
Magnificently photographed, and laced with a haunting recurring musical theme, it's stellar leads and supporting cast capture perfectly the tone and feel of the material. No great surprises or ground breaking grandness here, just a beautifully made film about life, love, choice and the human condition.
