I've just watched the DVD and loved it. Great story, interesting setting and great performances from the leads - less so from the actors in smaller roles, some of which hit and some of which missed.
One thing that did seem out of step for me was the civil rights scenes towards the end of the film. Relevant to the times it nevertheless seemed out of place because until then there had been no mention of it in the film.
The photography is lovely, the pace of the film gentle with good old-fashioned values running through the story it wants to tell. It's a film that draws you in because it has warmth and heart and provides that essential but sometimes overlooked ingredient - a beginning, middle and an end.
It also proves that it's often the independent film that wins over a blockbuster in terms of story enjoyment.
