Bravo...

Bravo...

Dear Jane,

Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo!!!

My favourite film of yours.

I don't like period pieces like that. I loved this!!!

Never has heartache been so realistically and movingly portrayed as Abbey taking to her bed.

Butterflies...

Butterflies...

The room full of butterflies.

The lovers kisses.

Abbie lying down on her bed, the wind through the window, the curtain acting like a shroud.

Abbie and Ben... touching...lovers...brilliant.
