| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatTop-drawer screen interpretation of Brian Moore's 1955 novel about the spiritual crisis of a middle-aged woman. |
| User ReviewDallas MBy Brian Moore, not William Trevor. Sorry. |
| User ReviewJohn MA little known gem with another amazing performance from Maggie Smith. 1930's Dublin is faithfully recreated in a film full of tragedy, some laughter and ultimately optimism. |
| User ReviewJohn BA period piece yes but at least a period piece that is interesting to view. Isn't it the same old story? The spinster who's life is put into question with the introduction of a suitor? Of course the suitor isn't all that he is cracked up to be and drama unfolds. |
| User ReviewSusan SA powerful film although I do not agree with the conclusion drawn by Judith Hearne in the final scene. |
| User ReviewLee MAn ensemble of sterling performances highlights The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, an intelligent, carefully crafted adaptation of Brian Moore's novel. |
