UK/France
Director: David Leland
Writers: Keith Dewhurst, David Leland, Angela Huth
Cinematographer: Henry Braham
Composer: Brian Lock
Cast: Catherine McCormack, Rachel Weisz, Anna Friel, Steven Mackintosh, Tom Georgeson, Maureen O'Brien, Lucy Akhurst, Paul Bettany
Leland and Braham serve up some gorgeous images, and the performances are uniformly accomplished, with Friel’s feisty turn particularly eye-catching, but an episodically unconvincing screenplay and a horribly twee score ensure that this tale of the loves and losses of three land girls, working on a Dorset farm during the Second World War, is only just about watchable.
