    An absolute delight from start to finish. Charming, elegant and engrossing. Careful and smartly written and superbly directed by the actor Charles Dance and filled with wonderful music and magnificent, subtle acting. The joy of watching Judy Dench and Maggie Smith, one of cinema'...( read more)s greatest dames, perform their charming duet for nearly two hours makes the film even more fun and worthwhile.

    Two grand old English ladies find a Polish kid washed up on their beach. They nurse Andrea back to life, and find out he is an accomplished violinist. I enjoy this sort of movie where the characters have to make difficult decisions.

    Lavender Ladies Lose Their Way. A Charming heart warming film. Highlights the best English Cinema has to offer. Aesthetically pleasing without much content. Although the story is good and told beautifully it lacks a message or moral to make the movie complete.

    The movie overall was very enjoyable. Judi and Maggie both did a fantastic job in their roles and Daniel was great as Andrea.

    Definitely worth a watch if you enjoy either or both actresses or are just looking for something a little different.
