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.

Reviews for Enchanted April
Like April weather most places north of the Mediterranean, this one is lukewarm, at best.
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.
One can't help but start planning a vacation immediately after the film ends
... behind that precious romanticism is a genuine commitment to this emotional renewal.
