Mixed feelings on this. Howth Head in Ireland was substituted for the Isle of Man, the first let down.
The story dragged in places. The horror of Canning's plastic face was a complete distraction, What has she done to it? And she came across as completely unbelievable - a healer with a face like that?
Suspension of disbelief was my constant, how on earth did the mother get away with all of her vanishings. And the dad was over the top, a sometimes befuddled and sometimes sharp old geezer. The secrets that never felt like secrets at all. Contrivance only.
Suranne was the real disappointment. I hate it when an actor starts to irritate me every time she appears on screen. And I have liked her in her past roles.
The ending was a huge disappointment, all tied up with a bow like a box of chocolates. Very unbelievable.
Romantic scenes felt forced as well and the relationship of animosity between the sisters which was the thread running through it all was never quite believable. Off in fact. And what sister calls the husband of his wife getting drunk and singing in a bar?
Another forced plot point. A shame really. Eve Best stole the show with a limp script.
5/10.
