The Inheritance Review
I gave it a 5 star because it was a nice change from the movies offered today. It is rare to find a family movie that depicts life where honesty, humility and self-censure is shown in such desirable way. When Louisa wrote this book, it was standard fare in society, but today's children are not raised this way. I am glad that the movie didn't try to place this movie in the setting and societal norms of the 21st century instead of the author's.
It was a sweet romance, which I think it was played with tenderness and sensitivity. The characters were portrayed as I think Louisa would have cast them. My only complaint was that the story could've been developed a little more. This is one of my favorites and I will play it over and again with my granddaughter, I am sure. No Description Available

Movie review - Rita Book - South Carolina
This movie was okay. A little too predictable but a nice story all the same.
cardboard characters, unsurprising plot - Judith Maurer -
I usually like period romances, but I didn't enjoy this one at all. The main characters - all of them - have entirely 21st century values, so there is little sense of history in it. Also, the only surprise in the plot is kind of a tired ploy that I could see coming a long, long way off.
