Beautiful,poignant and melancholy.
i love this film,its gentle,warm and made with a lotta love,a minor classic in my opinion.
shareI picked up this movie at the library several years ago, because it looked interesting, and after I saw it the first time, I was so entranced by it, I would try to exercise my memory by naming all the women. I thought each one was unique and fascinating, and I loved hearing their stories they shared with each other. I was completely enthralled by their (mis)adventure and worried about how they were going to get back to where they were headed. I still check it out every so often, sort of like a wonderful food that I haven't tasted in a while. I find it's still just as delicious as the first time.
shareA wonderful film. Saw it again the other evening as we have it on tape at home. I recorded it off the TV here when it wasd released. The Gothenburg film festival was on at the time and a film from it was shown on national TV. I didn't know which film was to be screened.
The still photographs of the women from their past is one of the most moving things I have ever experienced in a movie.
An absolute gem.

What a wonderful way to put it! I agree. I feel that way about "The Trip to Bountiful" (1985). I watch that when my soul needs nourishment.
I've seen "SIGC"twice, unfortunately its too expensive to buy on DVD right now, but I'm constantly on the lookout for it if the price comes down. Its a beautiful film, grossly overlooked.
I was surprised it was made so long ago, as I'd never heard of it.

I couldn't agree more! This was the most poignant film I've ever seen. At least it hit me that way. And I also thought it was very melancholy...especially when we'd see the stills of each of the ladies. Life can be so sad..... how it starts out and how it ends.... we have our memories and our regrets. All of us are no different. I think the director and producers of this film hit a home run. I will probably add it to my DVD library.
shareOne of the best films ever and not just out of Canada either. I agree, you already feel close to these women but seeing the stills of them from childhood into young adulthood and on made the film even more intimate. It's a film I return to again and again. If you are a member of Netflix, you can see it there on streaming right now,however, if you purchase it, it gives more detailed information on everyone in the film and interviews and commentary as well!
I think she's the saddest girl ever to hold a martini.
