    IF I HAD WORDS. No other film can come close to romanticising and damning English countryside communities like this one can. One the one hand you have the safe farm, the warm glow, and on the other your pressure to fit in to your tight-knit community. One of the…

A movie made with charm and wit, and unlike some family movies it does not condescend, not for a second.
