Product Description

Heart-warming comedy-drama from director Richard E. Grant. In Swaziland in 1969, the British ex-pat community is thrown into turmoil by the impending arrival of Independence, signalling the end of their pampered decadent lifestyles. Meanwhile, Ralph Compton (Zac Fox/Nicholas Holt) is stuck in the middle of a messy divorce. His father's re-marriage to a brash ex-airhostess and Ralph's lead role in a production of Camelot take centre stage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting 22 Jan 2007
I wasn't sure this film would be up to much more than a very good English drama and I was very pleasantly surprised. I really became involved from the opening scene and by the end felt like I knew the characters personally. Thanks to the subtle qualities of this film, watching this film is much like reading a really really good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wah Wah - the best movie 1 Oct 2006
By JR
I thought this film was the most absorbing, sad and funny film I have watched for a long long time - very sensitively done and portraying family life in the "raw" ... full of emotion and a flash back to a time when life was lived in such a simple behind doors way - a reminder of part of a history which must never be allowed to happen ever again. A marvelous first film produced by the multi-talented and fabulous Richard E Grant. A must-see film for all Richard's many fans plus everyone else of course. Great acting by all the actors involved and all expertly directed by Richard. If you read the Wah Wah diaries you will see how 6 years of Richard's life was taken up in the making of it. Joan R

5.0 out of 5 stars Unmissable film 31 July 2011
By lorenzo
Amazon Verified Purchase
I caught a viewing of this film on television and was totally enraptured by it. It is an semi-autobiographical account of Richard E Grants childhood in Africa and it is a magical beautiful film.

I have to reiterate, I loved this film. It was written and directed by Richard E Grant and is a masterly film directing debut. Buy it, watch it, please, please read the book!! Then see the film again. Really worth at least a second viewing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing.
As a great fan of Emily Watson I found the plot (such as it was) of this film a little too 'light' for her level of talent.
