SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

didiermustntdie agree with user-William James Harper, but it's beyond morality..a ridiculous movie about 3 girls of different backgrounds and characters working at a farm in WWII. Prue is "easy" or slutty, Stella seems strong opinionated,Ag is a virgin..however they all "in love" with Joe.. there are lots of ridicules but 3 scenes for each woman to be presented here1,prue scene.... when her newly wedded husband dies, she cries like he is her first love or they are loving couple for many years and tested by time .. but we all see her sleeps with at least 3 guys in the movies..what's more, she is extremely cheap,even a very sluttish prostitute has something reserved . I never see anyone like that in movies or real life.and, would any decent guy marry her?? a woman with very bad fame plus lack of basic self control. and really shameless, not by sex or morality,just by common sense of human behavior!2,Ag scene, a virgin asks a man to have sex with her ,because she wants some experience before marriage,(also remember she has already met her future husband and promised)..well, if she could do such a thing, why could she be a virgin in the first place 3, Stella scene, a minor one, a woman kisses a man, after telling him she loves another man who is her Fiancéenough? I haven't mentioned others, too many..the whole place is worse than brothel.it's supposed to be a film about normal young working women in WWII, but there are 20+ words like "sex", "sleep with" in it..I remember I watched a porn movie when I was a kid, there is a scene a woman is showing her jealousy and anger over her lover's betrayal and sleeping with another woman. so, i reckon even porno makers know some minimum dignity and esteem of women?? like movies about women in war? watch french movie "a french woman" instead..this movie shows the stupidity , clumsy, also pretension of the Brits,pathetic..greatest shame I have ever known for the Brits,pity Britain are getting worse today.but what's unbearably disgusting now is they are trying to defame its past.. having ruined today isn't enough, ah?

bob the moo Stella (Catherine McCormack), Prue (Anna Friel) and Ag (Rachel Weisz) play three "land girls", volunteers to carry on the agricultural work of the men. On the farm they find love, conflict, friendship and cows. The film is more of a relationship drama of those left behind than an account of the second world war.That said it is an interesting piece - not only is it different to have a WW2 film from a British point-of-view but also from a woman's point of view. It is interesting to see how those left behind acted with their lives and their war efforts - how close to the truth this account is, anyone's guess, it's a bit unrealistic because so many girl's experiences are crammed into the story of these three. The story is good regardless with the tangled relationships creating the glut of the plot, however the many tangled love stories do get a bit much at times but the themes of love, loss and British spirit during wartime tend to make up for it.The performance from the lead trio are mixed, Weisz is a bit stereotyped as an upper-class woman ("rotter", "jolly good" etc) but gets better as her character develops. Friel is good as Prue who starts as the roughest of the group but is touched by the events in her life. McCormack (Stella) is meant to be the core of the story with her interactions with the farmers, especially the son Joe (Steven Mackintosh), but she plays it a little over earnest for my liking. Mackintosh has the most complex role and carries it off very well with the best performance in the film.The film's conclusion is a mix of neat, tidy endings and some more emotional moments that more realistically depict the damage that the conflict caused on the people left behind.Overall the film is not amazing but is an interesting account of WW2 from a different point of view, some of the events are a little stereotyped and lack a realistic feel but generally the film carries the emotions that many will have experienced at the time.

TheFatManNotJake I first saw this movie on cable with my significant other, and though I usually dread this type of film, I found myself drawn to the simple yet enjoyable plot. The love story between Stella and Joe was well done; slow, almost arduous, yet it seemed never to lag, and I felt very attached this movie and its cast. It's just one of those movies that really isn't much to look at or think about, but leaves you with an extremely -- well -- pleasant feeling. Casting was brilliant, and some of the cinematography took great advantage of the beautiful English countryside.

I M Buggy I found the movie to be a well-acted warm, personal story of three women and the English farming family that they work for as members of the Ladies' Land Army during World War II. However, at times it makes chronological leaps without much warning and it may take a few minutes to figure out exactly what has happened and what the new season is or how much time has elapsed.It was a very interesting insight into a period of England and the life-circumstances of the country in early World War II. At times though, I had a difficult time distinguishing the subtle English accents and found myself backing up to attempt to re-hear what had been said. Sometimes I still couldn't make sense of the accent, and I'm not referring to the usual colloquial British terms that are at times foreign to Americans, although the movie is full of those as well, which adds a very quaint touch.All in all, it was a sort of feel-good movie that possibly could have had a little more punch in the ending. I was left with the feeling that it was a nice experience emotionally and educationally, but which falls a bit short of some movies of the genre, more so probably because of the production.
