I wasn’t expecting anything as good as this. Outstanding. Lovely. Deeply moving.
Delightful – a real gem. A very enjoyable film. Beautiful, piff, paff, puff!
A magnificent film throughout ! Beautiful film – lovely music.
A sad story beautifully done.
Wonderful photography. Stunning. Wonderful acting, beautiful photography. It’s what cinema is all about. A very atmospheric, moving film.
Beautiful photography and very subtle characterisation.
Superb – a masterpiece – wonderfully acted and sensitive. A study in nobility.
A beautiful and poignant film yet understated, Beautiful and enigmatic.
A beautiful film – enhanced by a subtle use of colour.
Beautifully told and photographed. Brilliant photography and photographer.
So many layers – superb. (I saw The King’s Speech this week and enjoyed this more!)
Superb acting, very atmospheric and thoroughly enjoyable.
Picture in picture.
Great film and I loved the CD before the film.
Great choice – thanks very much. A Hardy-esque tale of a wronged woman almost broken by forces beyond her control. Beautifully photographed – very reminiscent of those Swedish prints from that era.
A very moving story of love and perseverance.
A film with everything – moral, realism and real loving. Where is the rest of the film world?
An excellent film of love loss and redemption.
A gem of a film with a very light touch. Wonderful story and gorgeous to look at.
Absolutely first rate. Photography superb and the story was very sensitively handled – superb!
More like this please.
If this was on TV, I would have watched 20 minutes and then off. As it was I saw it all in its painful dullness.
I liked it.
Charming. Why not on general release as it could apply to many of today’s families in England. What I came to the club to see.
A lovely film. What I come to the film society for!
The next film will be A Prophet on February 4th at Blandford school hall.

Very enjoyable. Fine acting and interesting story. Destined for tragedy.
Terrific! Thanks for the Greatest Show on Earth. Very enjoyable.
A big improvement on Ian Drury. Great!
Fabulous acting – brilliant set and scene making and what a star Jonny Aaron is. Music of course from my youth! Magic.
An average film raised onto a higher plane by the inimitable Kristin Scott Thomas.
More an older Tom Jones than a young John Lennon.
I loved the storyline. Brilliant acting by the women.
Great film. Great music. Kristin Scott Thomas – wow! Beautifully acted.
An interesting film particularly well-played by the two women!! Good lads!
No wonder he ended up rather weird! Kristin Scott Thomas was superb as usual.
Too many views of him coming out of gates! Miserable backgrounds do seem to breed geniuses.
I felt it lacked tension and relied too heavily on us knowing what he would become.
I was strangely unmoved. Seemed genuine and touching in places.
Quite a good story averagely told.
I agree with The Guardian critic – good but staged in parts. Well done for coping with the problems.
“All you need is Love”. Congratulations on the 1950s style projector problems: - perfectly reproduced!!
Thanks for getting it back together again. Loved the film but I find the screen rather high (sorry).
Well done – a quick recovery with the DVD and a great venue.
Engrossing in spite of the gremlins. Some excellent performances – very enjoyable in spite of the break!
Rather enjoyable, I liked the music. The story was getting more interesting when it went – glad it come back.
What a relief after last week! Thanks for the diversity of films.
Very good – in spite of the jam on the disk. Well done the production team!
A tellingly poignant account of an unusual triangle but did the ending fall into the sentimental.
I am not sure how true to the real story it was. The John Lennon character appeared not to be the main character in the film.
The film answered all the questions about John Lennon’s later life. Super film.
Explains a lot! I will look at Julia with another level of understanding now!
A much better film than I expected, having grown up with the music.
A brilliant film in every way. Thank you for rescuing it!
A gripping and enjoyable trip down memory lane.
Brilliant! Where were the ice creams in the interval?
The next film will be Everlasting Moments on January 27th in Blandford School Hall.

More! WOW Magnificent F***ing Great Very powerful
Astonishingly grim. Visceral, terrifying, yet totally real. Very tense.
Brilliant – brutal but beautiful. Confusion and violence squared – CV2
Bleak, relentless though undeniably powerful. It was another war film.
The sheer power of the USA. Would they be that stupid to go looking for trouble?
Hand held – even the bomb trigger. On the balcony who got the video from the guy up there?
It certainly brings home what the troops have to cope with.
It’s all there, the devastation, the violence and the horror of war. The soldiers’ testosterone and adrenaline keeps them going. Brilliant acting – like a documentary. Superb acting.
Brilliant everything – acting, story, direction – 1st. class.
A powerful film reminding me of the horrors and futility of war.
Full of real feeling and utterly unsentimental. Oh the horrors of war.
The awfulness of it..... the waste of it…..the pity of it…………a brilliant film.
The horror! The horror! The futility of war.
Let’s hope it ends soon!
In substance a good film but oh the hysteria.
The Oscars were deserved – a great filmic team.
Deserves Oscars for gratuitous violence and tacky sentimentality. I am disappointed that the committee could choose such a dreadful film. The sound was also very loud (though not distorted) Ear plugs next week.
Well deserved accolades. (It was so hot in the hall: it added to the feel of the film!)
Powerful. Not my kind of film but I can understand why it won so many awards. What a f***ing world we have!
Fantastic film! I feel as if I’ve been right in the action for the last two hours! I’ve only just survived!
Palpable tension almost throughout – can’t imagine living it!
Glad I saw it but hard to watch.
A very good view of modern warfare but not good for peace of mind.
Draining – but well worth the experience.
A film not to be missed. I don’t think I enjoyed it but I’m glad I saw it.
[ Apologies to all those members who found Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘restless camera pinging frenetically’ nausea inducing. Several people were reluctant to disturb the film by leaving, so writhed silently]
The next film will be Nowhere Boy on January 20th at the new Blandford school hall.
