Rating:  - This is Not the Shell Seekers
While I realize that this is a nice movie albeit it only 98 minutes, it is NOT the Shell Seekers. Anyone who loves this story-I have just reread it for the 7th time, will be very dissappointed. The story is totally butchered and even if Ms Pilcher approved the edits I dont care, it took out the depth and the incredible humanity of the original. The original is not sad, it is a tremendously uplifting and moving story. In addition to the dismantling of the story I believe the casting is particularly ... Read More
Rating: - Lovely Scenery and Bittersweet Story
Angela Lansbury is one of my favorite actresses and she is excellent in this touching story which brought tears to my eyes more than once. The other actors, primarily British, are also very good and the English scenery is lovely. It's rather nice to see a movie where the main character is female, 63, and still searching for answers instead of being wise and all knowing.

Rating:  - GREAT MOVIE
A mother's sacrafice to keep her children happy without them taking into consideration their mother's happiness or appreciation for her love. I enjoyed this movie.
Rating: - * * * * * not for sophomores
The one star was given due to the fact that some sellers are selling the PAL version of this DVD under this heading of Region 1. Unless you can play PAL, avoid. The most notorious of these, caiman, even refuses to give a refund or an exchange for YOUR mistake in having ordered a PAL version.
The movie itself is easily five stars: * * * * *
The documentary with this movie has the producer and the screenwriter saying that Rosamunde herself approved the changes that they made ... Read More
Rating:  - Enjoyable yet unpretentious
Angela Lansbury does a wonderful job at protraying this character. Set in great locations that make the story more believable. No movie ever lives up to what a book can deliver in feeling and detail but this comes pretty close. I enjoyed the complex relationships between mother and children. They ring so true, using my family and other families I know as a guide. Forget those that say this is nothing like the book or give it only one or two stars. This movie does stand on it's own and the acting is great.
