COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Charmed by the ladies and the music submitted by Tanja on July 11, 2007, 2:13pm Any film with Judy Densch and Maggie Smith is worth seeing, no matter what! Having said that, this lovely film shows the life of 2 spinster sisters happily entrenched in their predictable lives in 1930's Cornwall, England. Finding a young man (played brilliantly by Daniel Bruel) washed up on the shore near their home shakes things up a bit. The performance by Daniel Bruel is brilliant not because of his acting but because of his violin "playing". You would swear that he was actually playing, but the person actually playing the violin is Joshua Bell. Great music by the way.
