Based on Elizabeth Bowen's acclaimed novel, "The Last September" is an unforgettable portrait of a young woman's coming of age, a sexual awakening in a brutalized time and place, where the ordinariness of life floats like music over the impending doom of history.

I'm not sure the movie should have pumped up the melodrama to get us more interested, but something might have helped.

C-

Expends so much effort looking good and creating a dreamy atmosphere that its makers seem not to care about maintaining narrative coherence or building emotional resonance.

Don't be fooled by the great cast listed. Watching grass grow is more exciting than this film. Seriously.

The storyline had it's moments that it shined, but was still a rather slow and detached film in general. The big stand out with this movie was actually the cinematography and the landscape which were both gorgeous! The characters and acting were just ho-hum. In fact, I think the film would have benefited from the leads being recast. Just a sub-par film when you take in all of its elements. I wouldn't really recommend this one.

(***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A good-looking film that has a good cast. A bit slow at times, but I was interested throughout.

Film about a family caught up in the Anglo Irish war. A little slow & sad.

Beautifully crafted. A couple of the actors fell a bit flat, but the rest made this film worthwhile.

Gambon and Smith are excellent. The rest are substandard. Roxborough's accent is hillarious. Boring.
