Editorial Reviews

Sixty-five years after making his screen debut as a young stoker in co-directors Noël Coward and David Lean's World War II drama In Which We Serve, Richard Attenborough perfects the balance between epic story and intimate tale with this drama starring Shirley MacLaine and Neve Campbell as a mother and daughter who find a relic from the past sparking an incendiary series of events. The year is 1991, and as a small American town mourns the passing of beloved World War II veteran Chuck Harris, his wife Ethel (MacLaine) numbs herself with alcohol to the point where she completely neglects her grieving daughter Marie (Campbell). Later, after Marie receives a telephone call from a boy in Northern Ireland who claims to have recently discovered a ring belonging to Ethel, a mystery nearly five decades in the making comes slowly into focus as the story drifts back into Chuck's wartime past and the days when he and Ethel first formed their powerful bond.

May 10, 2009: When I saw the preview to this movie, I was really interested in purchasing it from PPV. I gave the movie overall a 4/5 stars, because the plot of the movie is a really good plot. Unfortunately, there were so many things going on with this movie that it took away from the great movie it could have been. There were a lot of flashbacks and flashforwards, which can work really well in some cases, but in this movie it seemed kind of sloppy and unintentional. The actors did the best they could do, with the exception of Mischa Barton who was so-so.

If you're interested in this movie, I would definitely recommend renting it before purchasing, because the movie trailer is rather misleading.
