This is a film with some important messages that are obscured by a melodramatic romance. The film is almost saved, but not quite, by fine photography and lighting, an unsentimental view of Wales, and strong central characters. Nia Roberts is charming. She projects a sense of fun, has a lovely accent, and does a great mad/Ophelia look during her denouement. Ioan Gruffudd is utterly delectable.
