Profoundly Moving - By: , 20 Feb 2004 
A superbly written & acted, moving account of love, passion & ultimate sacrifice & heartache. I was captivated by this accomplished cinematic interpretation of Graham Greene's novel so beautifully portrayed & characterised..............one of the few films for which i shalll never tire.
Best film I saw that year - By: , 30 May 2003 I cried. I couldn't stop thinking about this film three days after seeing it for the first time.
Shame this Affair Had To End! - By: E. A. Redfearn, 31 Jul 2002 
The lovely Julianne Moore plays Sarah, a middle class housewife who is trapped in a dull marriage & drifts into an affair with a writer (Ralph Fiennes.) The affair has profound implications on both their lives. Overalll, its a moving film to watch, although a little slow at times. Nevertheless, the charismatic personalities of the lead actors & the skillful direction of Neil Jordan keep the story moving, & the emotions surfacing throughout to its sad conclusions which are; well I wont divulge those. Picture & sound are rather good for the video version. Not having seen the DVD version, I cannot comment, but I would imagine it would be better. If you like romance films, then you wont go far wrong with this.
A NICE FILM!! - By: , 30 Jun 2002 For those romantics amongst us who like to enjoy a good cry. Thoroughly enjoyable, nice film. If you're looking for sex & drugs forget it (though thinking about it, they did indulge in the former!). This is one to be kept & watched again & again!
VERY ROMANTIC - By: dawn.sloan@northlindsey.ac.uk, 18 Oct 2001 As soon as I heard about this film I wanted to see it, firstly because I like Ralhph Fiennes so much, he is a brilliant actor & good looking to boot, & secondly because wartime dramas are always so romantic (eg Hanover Street). Everything seems so much more passionate & urgent in a wartime setting because you don't know if you will be here this time next week. I loved this film & even though the ending is not a happy one (I love happy endings) I totallly agree with the character's attitude at the end of the film. I sympathised so much with his character, but also with hers (Julianne Moore's). You could feel the agony that they were both going through. All the actors were superb - highly recommended. I think I will buy the DVD version because my video version is getting worn out!
