This is a lovely film. Well made, excellent acting considering most had to put on slight dodgy French accents. A really good soundtrack too. An interesting commentary by the director gives a good insight into the making of it. Perfect for a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

I read the book to this film when I was about 14 and couldn't wait for the film. When it came out I realised that the only thing the two really had in common was the name.
The film is an incredable movie set in france and centers around Vianne and her daughter. It is about a small town that is not big on change and how one simple change can set off a chain reaction.
Johnny Depp has the most appaling Irish accent I have ever heard, but that can be overlooked because he is gorgeous in the film.
The legendary Judi Dench is in danger of stealing the show in every scene and the acting is fantastic.
It's a story of change, hope, courage, breaking boundries, defying sterotypes and mixing tradition with new ideas. It's worth a look and I loved it.

Wonderful perfomances by a great cast, epsecially Juliette Binoche and Judi Dench. Superb extras. Must buy!

Quite good.Although the only reason i bought it was because Johnny Depp was in it .But he was only in the last part.So if you are looking to buy this because it has him in it.Don't. Apart from that its quite good. And i learnt a bit of french :]

Not really for the macho males, but my wife loved it.

Not a film i would usually sit down and watch but i read a good review about it so decided why not try it and i am mighty glad i did. It is slow and little nothing of any greatness really happens yet i found it to be quite moving and was fascinated with where the film was going and never found myself bored. It was shot beautifully ,the acting was a joy and the soft gentle music was most pleasant(especially the gypsy swing music ) Perhaps you would only need to watch the movie once and not need to sit through again but i cannot recommend this enough if looking for something a little lighter than the usual fast paced flick.
