Was it nostalgia I asked myself? Brought up in the fifties many of the attitudes seem familiar although the family itself were an idealised vision of how I remember things. All that said I loved it for what it was, a gentle, often funny, film with superb acting and great visual images. A touching and thoroughly enjoyable film that I am sure I will return to at another time. Not a great film and no massive impact, but what a pleasure to watch and what a shame that the British film industry seems to have lost some of the skills and application so evident in this movie. This is one for a quiet afternoon. It won't tax your mind nor overly excite but it will leave you feeling happier for watching it.
