Absolutely Brilliant!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

A good, immensely watchable film. I thought the story was interesting, clear and believable (and differed in a few respects from the original play), the acting was on the whole very good and many of the scenes were charmingly filmed. The film explores a number of gritty themes, including the loss of loved ones to war, exploitation of women in the workplace, and the harsh attitude of society towards unmarried mothers in the mid 20th century.

I wouldn't go as far as some reviewers as to say that this film is valueless. There are some interesting ideas, particularly the treatment of single mothers at the time. However the initial plot line is inexplicable and the whole thing seems under-rehearsed and rather amateurish. The acting is rather wooden at times. If comes across as a low budget production, possibly even a student project. It was not a total waste of time spent in watching it but there are certainly plenty of better films to watch.

Must have cost just a few quid to make this, in fact ive seen more expensive productions come out of a local school. Acting is woeful, which is a shame because the characters seem likeable. The polystyrene sea mines at least gave me a laugh.Completely unbelievable plot. I continued to watch this film until the end to give it a full chance of redemption. The acting just got worse, in some parts the actors are actually stuttering to find their lines..Watch it for a laugh or as an exercise in how not to make a film.

This is a great and authentic looking film from a new Director with a wonderful story following the plight of Sarah, from her brief encounter with a German Naval Officer in WW2 through to a time just after the war. Originally produced as a stage play Brian O'Connell has brought his heart-felt and warming project to film and follows the hardships of a single mother in post war England. This is portrayed through some fine acting from the young lead cast, some beautiful photography and wonderful directing. A beautiful film that will have you captivated from beginning to end.
