I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Teddie Blake
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Rosie Searle
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

In 1944, the seventeen year-old Lucy (Antonia Clarke) is the pride and joy of her father Albert Felwood (Sam Hazeldine) and they live with her mother Martha Felwood (Jill Halfpenny) and her brother Pip in Lightfields Farm. Lucy befriends the worker Eve (Dakota Blue Richards) and they become best friends. Lucy has a love affair with the American airman Dwight Lawson (Neil Jackson) that dated Eve and she dies burnt in the barn where they met each other.In 1975, the aspirant writer Vivien Mullen (Lucy Cohu) comes from London with her seventeen year-old daughter Clare Mullen (Karla Crome) to Lightfields Farm with the intention of writing a novel, but she is haunted by the ghost of Lucy.In 2012, Lorna Felwood (Sophie Thompson) and her husband Barry Felwood (Danny Webb) raise their grandson Luke and welcome Barry´s father Pip Felwood (Michael Byrne) in Lightfields Farm. Soon Luke is haunted by the ghost of Lucy and Pip believes she is seeking revenge against him."Lightfields" is a melancholic ghost story with an intriguing mystery. The screenplay keeps the mystery until the last episode but it is difficult to understand why the ghost of Lucy has not communicated in a more objective way since she is capable to write. The screenplay is well written entwining three storylines and keeping the mystery of who killed Lucy until the last episode. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil0: Not Available

People who watched 'Marchlands' a couple of years ago should know what to expect here; like the earlier work this five part series is set in three different time periods. The first is during the Second World War where Lucy, a seventeen year old girl, dies in a barn-fire shortly after an assignation with an American airman at Lightfields Farm in Suffolk; in the second a mother and daughter move into Lightfields, the mother was there at the time of the fire but has no memory of it and in the final time period an elderly man moves to Lightfields to live with his son and daughter-in-law and their grandson Luke in the present day… he too was there at the time of the fire. Over the course of the series a picture builds up as to what happened Lucy and it looks as if her restless spirit is seeking revenge on those she holds responsible for her death. Away from the main plot Luke's grandparents have to contend with his father who is trying to get custody of him.Having enjoyed 'Marchlands' I was keen to watch this too and wasn't disappointed. The events in the three time periods where nicely interwoven and it was never confusing as to which time we were watching. There were plenty of people to suspect in the starting of the fire; including some who felt they might be to blame even though it ultimately became apparent they weren't. Lucy's ghostly appearances were creepy in a good way; especially when it looked as though she was targeting young Luke. The cast all put in good performances; this includes both familiar faces and some less well-known actors. Overall I'd say this was well worth watching; each week I was left wanting to know what would be revealed next.
