The
setting is 1930's Ireland, a young boy recalls growing up with his
mother and four aunts. Each of the women has a different personality
and task in the household. This orderly arrangement is upset when their
elderly brother returns from a lifetime serving as a priest in Africa.
The boy has only seen his father about four times in his life. He
chooses this time to make an appearance on his way to Spain, he plans
to join the fight against Franco. The sisters resume their life despite
these
bumps in the road until they come to a definite crossroads. I liked
this movie, the feel of it, the closeness of the sisters and the care
they have for their brother. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)95 min, Drama directed by Pat O'Connor with Meryl Streep, Michael Gambon, Gerard McSorley, Catherine McCormack, Kathy Burke, Sophie Thompson, Brid Brennan.
Note: Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.1 out of 10, 65% critic 58% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
