Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

I'm involved in a local am dram group and I can honestly say we could have done this so much better. Wooden expressionless acting, awful sets, and what on earth was the pub scene about? I kept wanting to turn it off but kept giving it a chance to get better. Sorry, but this has got to be the worst film I've ever seen. I should have known when i saw the homemade sea mine! One to avoid I'm afraid, done properly it could have been so much better.

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.
