PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

samkan The few negative commenters thus far are correct insofar that this is light drama and somewhat contrived. On the contrary, the mere courage to make a film about a collateral aspect of domestic Canadian WWII life should be applauded. That said, the photographic contrast between London during the Bombing and rural Alberta compliments the plight of the Canadian War Brides. What War Brides nails is the innocence, excitement and compulsiveness Of 19 years olds in extraordinary circumstances and unfamiliar venues; i.e., a farm boy in London and a Londoner on the prairie. Anna Friel and Brenda Fricker do wonderful jobs in their roles, as does Molly Parker. So refreshing to see a drama with no legitimate "bad guy", just people subject to forces outside their control. Worth a watch!

FrangipaniMozzie I watched this just to pass a spare evening when I was ill. It's not tremendously well-made, for I agree with other reviews in that it uses formulaic plots and is often a poor representation of World War 2 and 1940's life. I also found the characters and plot lines were poorly conceived and hard to relate to, not to mention the hideous amount of soapy melodrama of nasty characters bashing another; hardly profound story-telling. However, I'm not completely bashing this as nonsense that isn't worth anyone's time, for it is an entertaining and interesting drama story to watch, just don't expect a masterpiece. It's a typical BBC costume drama for Sunday evenings.

hjmsia49 This little film has an interesting premise that fails to meet its potential. The story of a British war bride's displacement to Canada should have made an interesting film but it too often sags in spots. I felt the excellent cast was wasted. When Lily (Anna Friel) arrives at that desolate farm in Alberta, my first thought was- wait till she experiences an Alberta winter in that shack. Unfortunately, though she is there for a long time waiting for her husband, it seems to be endless summer, never a hint of snow. The English and Canadian stereotypes are too pronounced and almost comical at times. Finally, the ending was too contrived and I found hard to believe that cosmopolitan Lily would ever be happy in that environment.

holland_gurl123 I liked this movie alot! I enjoy watching war movies and this one in particular was very interesting and man the cast was wonderful, couldn't be any better! I strongly recommend this movie! ***** out of ***** --and even though it is a war movie it has some extremely funny parts in it--
