This recent lame TV movie is getting a lot of criticism but for the wrong reasons. The newspapers* are complaining that its setting is inaccurate. Apparently the book it's adapted from was set in the '70s but the film is set in the '90s. But no-one told RTE television who think the production was set almost forty years ago. So the scenes of the '92 reg car, reference to sunbeds, and mobile phones have caused people to complain and criticise the film. As if this would make the film better? The film was rubbish because Edna O'Brien movies went out of date back in the 1980s. Another problem was that these films have been done to death here and there's nothing new to add. Unless of course you use a director-for-hire and a team of technical filmmakers who can show how great they are at making a telefilm. Only in Ireland?
