When the budget isn't there to make a blockbuster with big stars and even bigger explosions then the storyline really needs to carry the movie. Fortunately Dear Frankie does just that.
When described it could come across as maudlin or the equivalent of a made for television weepy. One that's designed to tug at the heartstrings of the at home mum of an afternoon, but it's more than that.
It's a story of growth, about how life cannot remain static and that the future is indeed unwritten.
This little films popularity is assured as once seen it will be hard to forget. UK film making at it's best.

good film with fab acting and a story that tugs at the heartstings. i was in floods at parts of it.

This is a lovely scots story with a perfect cast all the characters are played well, "Frankie" just sucks you in, Gerard Butler is lovely as usual, Emily Mortimer exceptional, "Frankie" just twists your heart strings.
