I heartily concur with the praise heaped on this film. I found the story engrossing and captivating - but oh dear, I think there was a little stumble at the last fence. As the climax loomed I realised exactly where we were going - only the fatal mode of transport caught me out. For all its tenderness and humour elsewhere, the last minutes were leaden footed. Enjoy this film in all its glory, for it is a gem, but be prepared to finish with an 'oh, come off it'. I wasn't expecting happy ever after, there was enough previous pain and angst to indicate that this was not a likely outcome, but my disbelief was being suspended for a rather more original ending.
