| User ReviewPinklama RHad its drama moments but it was missing far more plot than it gives. |
| User ReviewJames HBeautifully and loving photographed by Bruce Surtees, a very good feel for the times. The sets are well thought out and excellent. The main flaw of the film is that is feels very overlong at only two hours. The acting is very good. It is just slow at times. |
