Albert Finney, Aiden Quinn, and Robin Wright in

Albert Finney, Aiden Quinn, and Robin Wright in a love triangle testing the limits and boundaries Taking place in Ireland in a very religious community The priest Father Malone finds that Tara not having a husband is unacceptable She's just had a newborn baby Malone attempts to set her up with sergeant Brendan Hagerty Tom Casey then enters the picture as a wandering theater troupe called the Playboys and Tara ends up falling for him instead That makes things frustrating for Brendan doing everything in his power to tear them apart The community also tries to make Tara into a leper making her situation seem like a sin But she's not going down without a fight for her independence and dignity There's an over abundance of melodrama in this almost seeming like it never ends But the three leads make for a very intense love triangle and a village full of people who rely on gossip and mistrust Plus Penn is a woman who defies the moral rectitude of her Roman Catholic community in the 1950s The church and the theater are the two most influential institutions during this time in a small part of the world having enough fear and hostility Expectations are not quite challenged in this but met with the amount you'd imagine

A beautiful romantic film with marvelous locations and great performances. Albert Finney owned the film... partially, with his superb portrayal of an alcoholic ruthless man; but Robin Wright was not only beautiful in this movie, she did an outstanding job, as well did Aidan Quinn. I found the film quite reminiscent of John Ford's "The Quiet Man", at least in visual style and mostly because both are beautiful love stories set in a small Irish village. While Ford's film is an undeniable classic, this film is not far behind. It is much less known, but I think it's almost as good. It had as well little moments of comedy, especially the "Gone with the Wind" parody at the small theater, which was an extremely funny scene. The film contained especially near the end, some really intense scenes, which were brilliantly done, mostly because of Finney's top-notch acting work. Perhaps there have been many more films of this genre better than this, but still I consider this a very nice addition and a worth-seeing motion picture. Pure joy and enchantment.
