COMMENTS:

• I’ve not been so affected since first reading Birdsong regarding the First World War.  Acting by all leads very very good.   Narrative line about responsibility profound.
• Beautifully filmed and lovely music
• Love, loss, self sacrifice – it was just deliciously emotional
• Finding a way to continue to live after loss and pain
• Strong statement made by parents against war
• Extremely moving and believable story.  Totally gripping
• Rather too many improbabilities in the story line, but an interesting film with some very nice photography
• Really touching
• A beautiful and moving examination of the lies we tell ourselves and others
• Brilliant thought provoking film
• WAR and PEACE  both painful and complicated.  Black and white gave it the ‘old movie’ feel
• The futility of war!  Excellent acting and good music
• Not sure of the ending
• Beautiful film with some good plot twists.  Very moving
• Sad but lovely – loved the music – sad times
• Powerful emotional film – very special and lasting
