I didn’t like this film but this is my own personal review. Some viewers of the dvd say otherwise. It was a “dark” film and quite frankly, if I had not been watching the film with someone else, I would have switched off before the end.

I decided to buy it as I was a big fan of pete posthlethwaite and had seen clips from this film in a triute to him It was a great movie, very moving and some brilliant acting, a great classic film as were all his others and it was so much cheaper on ebay than anywhere !!
Wonderful, realistic play of a patriarcal 1940's/50's disfunctional family. The main character, the Father, was brutal to both his wife and his children but they still loved him and mourned his death. A story of childhood during the war, teen years where they craved their father's love but usually got the opposite. Marriage for at least one daughter meant almost repeating history. Well written, lots of old songs sund when the family were in the local pub during which seemed their only respite from a hard life.
Excellent film, saw it many years ago and wanted to show friends who had never seen it.Pete Postleswaite is as always excellent and a much under rated actor. Atmospheric film with music to accentuate the mood of the times.
I love anything to do with Pete Postlewaite but this was very disappointing,the story kept going back and forward until i got so confused i switched it off.
