... unlike "Distant Voices..." I didn't end up so emotionally engaged.
Maybe (sadly) a lot of this now feels a bit cliched - arcadian background / family struggle / WW1 and its aftermath / etc. - and this didn't do much that was sufficiently different, IMHO. (Unlike "Gwen", for example.)
Cinematography is great, Agyness is fine, so, apart from what felt like an unnecessarily long running time, I suspect that it's the source material that's the weak point. But that could just be me.
So - by no means a "bad film", and worth a look.
