QuickView


Story-line: this tragic film recalls a life-changing encounter between Irish novelist C.S. Lewis and American writer Joy Gresham.
Pluses: wonderful acting (notably by Debra Winger), lovely period detail.
Minuses: none whatsoever, but do keep a few hankies nearby.
Comments: a very sad and touching story about the power of love. Notice how C.S. Lewis will come to question principles he has always abided by... a sign of deep, deep pain. All in all, SHADOWLANDS is a memorable film about life’s beauty and unpredictability.
