superb film,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lawless Heart [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
This is an excellent film, cleverly written with the story looked at from three different perspectives. Superb performances, and stunning scenery, together with some very clever and funny twists to the plot, make this a joy to watch.

A humane, intelligent British film,
By Yorkshire Lass in Exile "Yorkshire Lass in Exile" (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lawless Heart [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
This is one of the best British films I've seen in the last few years. Great acting, great music, and the rural East Anglian setting is a nice change from the gritty urban backdrop of most modern Brit flicks. The three-part structure is clever without being too intrusive. Seeing the same story from different points of view helps you understand several of the characters who seem selfish or unsympathetic at first. You get to see their vulnerability and appreciate their 'good side' - it's a very humane film. The overall mood is a bit sad and wistful but it's also emotionally uplifting and even has a few jokes in it. Highly recommended.

Intelligent, subtle and true to life.,
By popeye cresswell (lancaster, lancs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lawless Heart [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
How refreshing to see a film that punches way above its budgetary weight, making a mockery of big budget star driven and cloying Hollywood fayre.As anyone who watches the "extras" contained in the DVD package will discover, the guts of the film draw on the talents and commitment of a fine ensemble of British actors. There is no sense of the directors ramming a story / life view down your throat and the way in which it reflects real life, with a never ending stream of interlocking events and perspectives is seamless. Some fine acting -- people won't be surprised to know that Bill Nighy is magnificent, and that Douglas Henshall and Josephine Butler have an effortless natural charisma that fills the screen. It's a film that will reward watching repeatedly to fully capture the matrix of emotions and events, so brilliantly captured in the film score. A film for all seasons and stages of life.
