![]() ![]() ![]() But in the movie director Gillies MacKinnon introduces some interesting characters to the audience, only he doesn't do much with them. I never read the bestseller by Maeve Binchy, so I can't compare it to this motion picture. Through an impulsive phone-call by MacDowell, the two women get in contact (for the first time!) and without knowing each other's background, they suddenly decide to swap houses for a few months. Around the same time, somewhere in Ireland, Olivia Williams (another respectable actress) is told by her husband that he's going to leave her for his younger and pregnant girlfriend. Andie MacDowell (respectable as always) plays a married American woman who loses her 15-year-old son in a motorcycle accident. ![]() The basic idea of the movie certainly is interesting. When it comes to the acting and the afore-mentioned genre description my assumptions proved to be right. I prepared myself to see a well-acted drama with a touch of subtle comedy, driven by a solid plot able to strike the right chords. Between all this summer blockbuster mayhem, the premise of TARA ROAD seemed like a welcome change. ![]()
