Amazon.co.uk Review

During the Second World War, Britain's women were asked to help out the farming industry by joining The Women's Land Army (The Land Girls). Three city gals make their way to the Lawrence farm in Dorset, and find themselves taking to the work easily enough. The only problem between them is each want young Joe (Steven Mackintosh) for their own reasons. Ag (Anna Friel) is the fiery sort who'll take pleasure where she finds it; Prue (Rachel Wiesz) just wants a lesson in the ways of the world; while Stella (Catherine McCormack) is looking for a way out of the private trap she's set in motion back home, but her feelings are the most sincere of the bunch. The film is Stella's story really (as adapted from the novel by Angela Huth), and has her affecting the on-off decision by Joe to join the RAF, the fight with the government to keep the East Meadow as it is and the paths the two other girls end up taking. Everything is very sweet-natured, especially when played out against a backdrop of rolling green hills, chuffing steam engines and knee-high socks tucked into Wellington boots. There's no comment on the effects of war as such, instead this film is more about the reasons why we make choices in life. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars Land Girls Forever, 4 Dec 2002
By Lancaster Lucy (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Land Girls [VHS] [1998] (VHS Tape)
This film is brilliant. Anna Friel is excellent, very funny and plays her part really well. Each of the characters are so very likeable. There are quite a lot of funny scenes in it but also some real heart breaking stuff (i cried one minute and laughed the next!), which i feel portrays the ups and downs of the second world war extremely well.
It is a gentle and emotional film and the countryside scenery is breathtaking . If you like good old fashioned English films, you will find this very entertaining.

3.0 out of 5 stars A slow but sweet tale of love and sex during WW2., 11 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Land Girls [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
This pleasing story introduces the reader into a number of unique and interesting characters who fill each other and the book with zest and reason. Three lovely girls with differing plans for life set out to be 'land girls' and work towards the war effort as best they can. Stella, Pru, and Ag. Stella gentle but unforgiving, Pru wild and ready and lively, and sweet mild mannered Ag with her soft secret and dreams. They donne thier dungarees and wellies and prepare for a tough life. The farmers son gets things stirring and before long they each fall in and out of love, dancing along in mud and rain with laughter and tears, having a truly romantic time as the bombs drop over Europe and thier hearts pound. The story is well woven though weak in places and a little soppy or overdone. The film is brilliant and really brings out the characters.
