Not Good, Its AMAZING!!!!

I truly for the life of me cannot understand how anybody in their right mind can find this anything less then wonderful!! I was slightly disappointed with A Pocketful of Rye, but this was superb, Julia McKenzie is more into her role and echos of Joan Hickson, a more tender character then Geraldine's (Who I adored) The Stella cast in this is wonderful, Shirley Henderson though steals it, giving a wonderful performance. I've read a few comments where people have said it hasn't been well adapted and that the film was better, come on give me a break, this was wonderful, Pocketful gets a 7, this gets a 10!!! Wonderful.
