Thanks, Ilario, I'll take your advice. I've said much the same thing about some films. Two that come to mind are "Dogville" and "Grave of the Fireflies." I thought the former was also shocking, even appalling in parts; the latter simply broke my heart. But I'm glad that I saw them. Some movies I watch for sheer entertainment value, and I'm probably less picky than I could be. But certain films have had a lasting impact on my world view, even if it means I might not be able to find the nerve to sit through them a second time.
This is what I love about these boards. I've not seen "Greenwood Tree," and will put it on my list. And thanks to PurpleLemon I've got two more Hardys there too.
Thanks again.

Oh, my ~~~ I have to edit this because I just searched for "Greenwood Tree," found "Under the Greenwood Tree," and realized that I did see this years ago, I think on "Masterpiece." I remember because it has Keeley Hawes in it, who I thought was so de-light-fully funny in "Death at a Funeral." I'd love to see it again, though - it was just so...nice.
