This a little ripper. A true story, which always makes things interesting. Scenes of the beautiful northern NSW coupled with the lifestyle of the London middle class / well - to - do.

The contrast and connection between the main characters UK vs AUS lifestyle makes this is no normal little Aussie Indi film. To the contrary, it is sophisticated filming punching above its budget weight.

Each character works a treat with the choice of casting and the underlying message of the plight of true love against the insidious disease that is MS, means a love story with a sad twist holds the theme together - and it works.

Not for everyone, however for someone who is appreciative of a brilliant eloquent script you won't be disappointment.

The acting is also superb. All Actors chosen well It is a shame that modern day series of that era have not been scripted so well.

The clarity of the situation i.e the lot in life of women at the time, is portrayed as not a tragedy but as endurance and strength.

It is a movie that any senior English Teacher could use as a resource in which to immerse students in a world of perfect language that is no longer used.

How sad that this aim for perfection in verse has had its day, so to speak.
