Product Description

In 1920s Widows Peak, a small village in Ireland, the community is thrown into disarray with the arrival of a beautiful young widow. Joan Plowright plays the village matriarch, Mrs Doyle Counihan, who prides herself on knowing all the comings and goings in the community, and everything about everyone. Amongst the villagers is the shy spinster Miss O'Hare (Mia Farrow), whose past has more to it than meets the eye, and the newcomer Edwina Broome (Natasha Richardson), who forces all the skeletons out of the closets.

3.0 out of 5 stars Charming 15 July 2005
Format:DVD
and fun with excellent performances especially from Joan Plowright but also Mia Farrow surprisingly convincing as Irish.
When I saw this first some years ago I was amazed that it was a box-office flop......re-viewing now it does perhaps lack a little in technical skill but still charming!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful and Charming 9 Mar 2004
Format:DVD
This is a terrific little film that stars Mia Farrow, Natasha
Richardson and the wonderful Joan Plowright. Widows' Peak is
so named because there are so many widows in the little town.
Somone is out to do Mia Farrow in and through investigating we
find out all about all the goings on in the town. Jim Broadbent
is seen as the dentist and Adrian Dunbar is Plowright's son.
Great ending. A superb Irish grudge movie.

2.0 out of 5 stars Romantic mystery 5 July 2009
By Lorien
Format:DVD
Edwina's arrival (Richardson) stirs the waters at Widow's Peak. The first 'victim' is Mrs Counihan's (Joan Plowright) son, who falls in love with this independent and unusual woman. Miss O'Hare (Mia Farrow) is a bit skeptical about the newcomer and the viewer understands that something is not really what it looks. The problem is that there are some more minutes to go. So the wrapping up at the end is not so unexpected and this is a pity because the film is well acted, the Irish settings are very carefully shot and even the old fashioned atmosphere is up to the point.

Every one played their character so well. Oh so enjoyable and the ending though I thought I knew it still came as a wonderful surprise. Revenge oh sweet revenge.

Although I guessed the ending early, I enjoyed watching the plot unfold. Good lessons about the friendships between women. Have fun with this movie. The cast is a delight.

"Widow's Peak" is great fun and genuinely funny. Set in Ireland of the 1920s, it is also lovely to view. The costumes are scrumptious, and the ensemble cast is splendid. Read more
