Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

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

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

ellenirishellen-62962 I can't believe ITV dropped another excellent show like Home Fires!What do they think is required for the viewers,more inane programs?There are too many reality TV shows,and I won't watch any of them!You can see that kind of stuff going on everywhere,fueled by the mindless twaddle seen on TV.If I want anything,"As Seen On TV",I'll watch what I want,not some network executive trying to show me what they think things should be.Home Fires and Bletchley Circle are both excellent series dedicated to the women who made tremendous sacrifices to help the War Effort in the UK.We need more programs dedicated to bringing to the present generations the supreme dedication shown by all brave men and women,home and abroad,who contributed so selflessly to bring about an end to war that should never have been allowed to become so costly to all!

davidannerandall just one glaring error during the titles; one of the Spitfires wears "invasion stripes" [ not painted onto aircraft until 1944] otherwise looks pretty realistic as regards scene setting etc. All the cast are believable and the clothing seems close to the period, with the ladies being more elegant, even the working class ones; it seems to capture those earlier days of the war and the bombing had not started in earnest yet. getting feedback from people in the northwest who lived through that period, they seem to feel it has captured something of that period; I am a little too young but lived through the V! doodlebugs dropping on north London;

chaucer-1 Great subject but so poorly produced and directed as to be little more than a period soap opera with a better (than usual) class of actor. The setting, character cast and story-line has been so sanitised that there is an unreal, chocolate-box quality to the production. The village is so clean, tidy and polished as to be almost clinical in appearance, no one smokes apparently (in war-time Britain, for goodness sake)not a dangling Woodbine in sight, the male characters religiously shave daily and never swear - not even the mildest expletive - whilst the the villagers' teeth are gloriously white, even Hollywood models - not a missing molar or yellowed snagged-tooth in sight. It's as if the director and production team had decided at the outset to ignore any attempts at verisimilitude - substantial cost saving perhaps but it tarnishes the series irretrievably.

Paul Evans Without a shadow of a doubt Home fires is one of the dramas of the year. Set during star of the second world war it focuses some of the families in a small village. It looks more so at the war through the eyes of the women, they each have stories, husbands and children having to fight, social changes, the Women's institute itself.Beautifully acted from the entire cast, there isn't a single weak link in the chain. I particularly loved the scenes between Samantha Bond and Francesca Annis, they had some great dialogue. The series in my opinion was stolen by Claire Rushbrook and Mark Bazeley, these two took it up another level. Bob's treatment of Pat made me feel genuinely uneasy, both made it so believable.Everything looked exactly as it should have, I love the hair and clothing throughout, people looked so smart.Wonderfully scripted, beautifully acted this series was a true winner, it's no surprise it received such good audiences and was granted a second series. Who knows, this could continue for a little while yet.
