    I have no idea how I managed to get all the way through this film. I only started watching it because there was nothing else on and I like Rachel Weisz. However she didn't really make any impact on the film at all. Her character was annoying more than anything else. And so were t...( read more)he two other girls in the story. They also managed to have some really odd conversations which I consider odd for the time. The performances seemed a little forced from a lot of the actors. The plot was dull and the ending pointless, which made the film pointless as a result. At the end, after the war scenes, although irrelevant, Rachel Weisz looked scary. Not important but there isn't anything much else to write about this film, other than see it at your own risk.

    A nice little film to sit down and watch on a Sunday afternoon. The main leads do a good job of invoking the spirit of the real Land Girls. Nice film.

    British prestige drama - is there anything more dull? This has a good performance from Rachel Weisz, and some lovely photography. But it is dull in the only way British prestige cinema seems to be.
