Customer Reviews

Langrishe a Bust
This movie may be worth watching for its two stars, Judi Dench and Jeremy Irons. The story was slow and difficult to understand, though. Scenes appeared disconnected and the audience was given far too much responsibility to figure out the connection. I never did.

An Irish Story
This is a fine example of earlier work by Judi Dench, Jeremy Irons and Annette Crosbie in a Harold Pinter BBC2 Play of the Week from 1977.
The story is about two sisters who live in their ancestral Irish home in genteel poverty, bored and trapped.
Enter the young student (Irons) and an opportunity for the sensual Imogen (Judi Dench) to express herself.

I love Judi Dench
Judi Dench is a beautiful, fantastic and versatile actress. This movie was too dark, too sad and I wanted to pluck her from that place and that story. I wanted to place her in the beauty of England - amongst the sun and birds and flowers and trees.

I have alot of her other movies, but this one didn't pull at my heart strings.

A loyal and happy fan of Judi Dench!
