First of all this movie is worth watching. A historical film with a good director and attractive cast are the redeeming qualities.
Mischa is lovely and her young beaus are fresh faced and earnest. It's a bit of a stretch having Shirley McLaine as her older self. Neve Campbell's character is annoying and she is too sulky looking.
The storyline is a little over ambitious and confusing. The story should have been told without so much flashbacks - it was confusing because so much time and incidents and places are covered. Also the WWII element is a little bit of a let down since no real action takes place its just an accident in Ireland. Maybe it was too much ground to cover with the IRA storyline as well but they were trying for an epic.
