This production is a slow moving drama centering on the life of Chris Guthrie (Agyness Deyn) from her teen school years through adulthood and marriage. It is the turn of the century in Scotland with war looming with Germany.
Chris is an exceptional intelligent person whose life would appear to be wasted by modern standards. However, she doesn't realize this as life forces her to endure leaving little time for huge dreams...like going to Canada. The film is in the realm of art house which accounts for all the acclaim. No one can bad mouth an arty film without looking oafish. This one incorporates metaphoric language in narration, "dark quiet corpse (books) that was her childhood was fulfilled in the tissue paper and laid away forever."
Chris discovers that as life passes, nothing endues but the land. I thought it was better said (and you can dance to it) by the grand philosopher Stevie Wonder, "Living Just Enough for the City" but then again I am a bit oafish.
If bitter-sweet art house historical tales your cup of tea...this is it.
