Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics and history buffs. If you loved Doctor Zhivago or Mrs. Miniver, start here.
The mood
Intense, warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
Nothing much for most grown-ups.

Set in the fields of Devon and the WW1 battlefields of Flanders, two brothers fall for the same girl while contending with the pressures of their feudal family life, the war, and the price of courage and cowardice.
