Return

Nice movie on Bravo today if you can tolerate the commercial interruptions: Winter Guest starring Emma Thompson and her mother Phyllidia law playing Emma's mother in the movie. I believe it was filmed in a small Irish (or Scottish) coastal town. It's about relationships--between recently widowed Thompson and her elderly Mother; between Thompson and her teen son; between her son and his sexual initiation by a young girl; between two young boys; and between two excentric elderly laides who amused themselves by attending funerals. Worth watching as an antidote to Hollywood.
