Great Girlie Film
Advantages: great acting and story Disadvantages: Collin firths moustache
Circle of Friends, 1995, Rating 12, Run Time: 98 minutes Circle of Friends, is another great girlie movie, a genre that I am very familiar with if you have read any of my other film reviews. It is based on the novel by Maeve Binchy. The Story: Set in Ireland in the 50’s we are introduced to three young girls Benny, Eve and Nan on the day of their communion, they are full of the innocence of youth and the best of friends. Benny is a thick set child ... ...but proud parents. Eve is an orphan child being brought up by local nuns in the convent, her parents had a tragic death and when Eve turns 18 she is set to inherent a her parents house and funds for her studies. Nan is a beautiful girl with a slight air of arrogance about her, after communism her parents move from the village. We are then taken to the girls first day at university; Benny is commuting by bus every day while Eve is set to stay in a ...

The best dvd adaptation of the book
Advantages: Fantastic. Disadvantages: There are none
I am a big fan of "costume dramas" and I remember watching this when it was first shown on the BBC and I loved it. I am sure I have seen it ten times since then and I look forward to watching it again, it is a series I never tire of.

Hubby did find that he found the film was slightly ... ...pace at which it moved and enjoyed seeing the story play out the way it did. The certificate on this film is a 12 which I do agree with.

Overall I do recommend this film as it is highly enjoyable and the story is put across in a wonderful way by ...
