No discernible plot. But plenty of boring characters. Thank goodness for the subtitles or I might not have realised that there were flashbacks to young Leda.

Full of 'meaningful symbols' such as orange peel like a snake, dolls, and poetry translation, which were irritating, distracting and ultimately meaningless.

A waste of an evening.

The acting is brilliant. Just a shame the main characters are all miserable with miserable lives and the plot grinds ridiculously slowly, resulting in a programme that is unwatchable and just not entertaining.

One of those movies where you spend more time spotting actors than you do on the plot (omg Danny Dyer looks so young, and wasn't HE in Eastenders too, and that's the bloke off Peaky Blinders). Some tense, gory or miserable scenes.

From the title, you'd understandably expect this to be a WW1 war film based in Europe. Turns out it's a made-for-TV Sunday afternoon romance set in mostly Canada.

Looks beautiful, and is a wonderful film to watch. Sadly the second half loses its way and the style turns into something more like a video game.

This was funny when I first watched in 2004 or so. But it hasn't stood the test of time. Each episode features the characters goofing about and having inadequate relationships. No real plot. The frequent musicaly speeded up sections are jarring. Watch Friday Night Dinner instead.

Ignore the plot holes and tedious characters. Enjoy the lake district scenery.
