Andie MacDowell, Anna Chancellor, Bill Paterson

A group of 40-year-old career women face questions of love, friendship and the single life. But their lives are thrown in the air when a much younger man appears on the scene. Kate, an expatriate Amer...( read more  read more... )ican headmistress of a British private school, gets together weekly with Molly, a doctor, and Janie, a police sergeant, to eat chocolates, drink, smoke, and share stories of love and disappointment. The strength of these female bonds is tested when Kate meets a former student playing the organ at a funeral; minutes later the two are having wild sex in the church graveyard. Despite the 15-year age difference, this is the start of a hot romance that ignites a streak of jealousy in Janie and Molly, who quickly move to sabotage the relationship. The sabotage, at first amusing and harmless, soon takes a tragic turn.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The movie does its best to work us over, with second helpings of love, romance, tragedy, false dawns, real dawns, comic relief, two separate crises during marriage ceremonies, and the lush scenery of ... full review
