 Love On Many Levels Dec 06, 2008
Any film with Judi Dench and Maggie Smith is automatically worth buying, but Ladies in Lavender has a special appeal beyond even the draw of these two fine actresses.
In the late 1930s two lonely sisters live a quiet life in Cornwall. One morning they discover a mysterious young man washed up on the beach near their home. As they nurse him back to health, they discover old memories and some regrets, and learn new love and tenderness. The young man reveals unexpected depths and gifts and shows his own gratitude and love for the sisters, even when tempted by glamour and beauty.
This is a kindly, pleasing story with enormous emotional appeal. There's enough humor to keep the mood from getting too dark, but the overtones of the times, (of which we are reminded by occasional radio news reports) are always present to provide more pathos. Ladies in Lavender will join the select group of beloved films which I will always try to keep close at hand.
A touching story Oct 30, 2008
This film features Judi Dench and Maggie Smith at their best. This is a touching and sad story of two sisters whose quiet and ordered world is set reeling by the arrival of a young stranger when he is washed up on the beach near their lonely cottage.
During the film we get to meet many of the neighbors and friends in the area, and experience the anxiety which the boy and another newly-arrived girl engender in the inhabitants of this pre-World War II Cornish village.
The setting for the story is beautiful, and the emotional scenes are well balanced by some lively humor. The film ends with some vital questions left unanswered, such as where did the lad come from, why was he washed up, why was he going to the USA, etc. However, despite this, the film is exceptional and charming and will be loved by anyone who enjoys period British drama.

 Good Movie Aug 31, 2008
I really bought this movie because it is filmed on location in Cornwall, one of my favorite places on earth. It turned out to be an interesting story with great acting. (No suprise from Judy Densch, of course.) It is a keeper!

 Ladies Jul 12, 2008
This had good actors in it, but the sound seemed garbled, so it was hard to understand the dialogue.
