MIXED Reviews
|
| | | "A film of often startling details, put together with sharp psychological nuance... Boorman seldom strays very far from the mystical... and mixes comic imagery with stony realism, which keeps one constantly, and refreshingly, off-balance (this is no Mrs Miniver)... This powerfully visual level of poetic observation is, unfortunately, not sustained, and the film slows down a great deal when it moves... [to the] grandfather's riverside country house...Part of the problem here is that Ian Bannen... chews the scenery...The other performances, however, are superb." | | (David Bartholomew, Film Journal) | | |
