...It is fleet but not in a hurry. It is a film about values without being self-conscious. It encourages us to think about how we feel.
What a beautiful film it is: Not an over-decorated "period" adaptation, but an intimate story simply told with humor and wisdom. The scenes are clear and lean against the richness of the setting, but they seem to flow leisurely through the story, and I was quite content to linger in their garden.
Although set in 1910, the story and the characters feel perfectly relevant today.
This film would represent a proud accomplishment by any standard, but particularly so in light of its unconventional and modest beginnings in the rural Pacific Northwest.
