I'd be lying if I told you the movie swept me of my feet. But I enjoyed it nevertheless, more for what it was then for the story itself. Let me explain.
It is a quite movie that uses very little dialogue and pretty much relies on picture and acting performances. The scenery and costumes are great. And since Kate and Saoirse are two of my favorite actresses I reveled in watching them both play together. And, no, I don't mean it like THAT !!!
The story is what it is and I am sure many will dislike it. Which is ok, I don't like each movie I see, either. It is rather predictable and honestly I couldn't see it going any other way. At the same time I don't feet overwhelmed by the topic or having it rubbed in my face like it happens often with this topic. But this movie isn't about that, it's not there to fight for something. Like the synopsis said it's a story about two women who find something they've been looking for in each other.
Whether you get something out of it depends on your willingness to engage into the movie in the first place.
