Colin Firth, as Tom Birkin, has me truly believing he IS Tom Birkin. The physical, mental and emotional trauma of war and what it does to those who survive are mirrored on Birkin's face as he attempts to get on with life and complete his assignment in the little town the story takes place. The scene where the reverend's wife is taking Birkin back to church by way of the wood is one I will never forget. It sums up the message of the story in one shot! Birkin's reaction was so similar to my own.
Jim Carter (who has also appeared with CF in The Hour of the Pig and Shakespeare in Love) is also a real treat. A Month In The Country has a lovely cast and some top notch performances. This is one of those movies worth searching for!
