Low-key charmer. [12-25 Jun 2017, p.15]
An invasion [of American soldiers] that doesn’t entirely sit well with some of the local men, resentful of the Yanks making moves on their women. That resentment has many causes, a fact the film doesn’t make much of. The same can be said about virtually everything in this tale, so determinedly and wearyingly sweet-natured.
My Mother and Other Strangers, written by Barry Devlin, is beautifully filmed, and, like so many “Masterpiece” productions, it certainly offers transport to another time and place. It has a wistful appeal. But the series relies too much on one-dimensional characters--particularly the local men who are always itching for a brawl--and story lines that rarely go to unexpected places. It’s pleasant, slight, and a tad too obvious.
