Tara Road (second review!)
There is no Tara Road in Dublin yet this movie is set there? Two women separated by the Atlantic swap houses for a while to get over tragedy in their lives. One woman loses her son in an accident while the other loses her husband to another woman. Yep, it's another Maeve Binchy chick flick (she appears in one scene) and it's complete rubbish. The only good part was the way the movie made fun of the middle-class Dubliners who surround classy McDowell. Good supporting cast but they all seem to appear in scenes together so you don't get to know them? I always wonder why it's men who direct these kind of films. Surely, they would be much better if directed by women?
