One can't help but start planning a vacation immediately after the film ends

Thematically, Mike Newell's film is similar to A Room With a View, focusing on the liberating impact of an Italian vacation on repressed, downtrodden Brit femmes, well acted by Joan Plowright, Miranda Richardson and Polly Walker.

Beautifully filmed and acted with a pleasant, wry sense of humor about it. Mirand Richardson shows why she is one of our greatest living actresses.

Exquisite -- it will bloom inside you the way Italy blooms inside the characters.

... behind that precious romanticism is a genuine commitment to this emotional renewal.

Like April weather most places north of the Mediterranean, this one is lukewarm, at best.

It reminded me of the introspective but otherwise soft-hitting stories that my mother reads in her monthly book club. It's a rich film, but not the kind of rich that I like.
