Weird but wonderful.......2004-09-21

Having just watched Miss Morison's Ghosts for the first time I feel I have to watch it again. Considering it was based on an actual happening, the events recorded were certainly weird. A time slip into the past at Versailles and the ensuing reporting of the happenings all lead to an enthralling film superbly acted by Wendy Hillier and Hannah Gordon. I was especially taken with Miss Gordon's performance especially her final sermon, but what a twist at the end!!! I would thoroughly recommend this film to any who have not yet bought it.

a great film on a small budget.......2002-04-11

This is a great film. It recreates a cloistered world of academia where women were struggling to be heard.Two academics visit Paris and find themselves transported back to the French Revolution for a short time. They then must struggle to have their voice heard among those who doubt them.

The film contains some strong performance and wonderful scenes. The writing is a joy and the performances reinforce each other. I particularly liked the growing strength and confidence of the women as their careers slide and they refuse to forget what they have seen or heard.

Very Good But Not A Keeper.......2001-07-30

I enjoyed this ghost drama on DVD. I was not absolutely enthralled by it though. I think the reason it didn't take me the whole way to 5 stars is that it is too much an intellectual approach to a paranormal experience. Two Victorian women in English education travel to France where they appear to be able to see through time as they visit the tourist sites. They see scenes and people from centuries earlier. They decide to tell of their experience when they return to England. All sorts of unpleasant events flow from this telling, including putting their futures in education on the line. It was a well done tale but I simply felt too distanced from what was going on to really be enthralled by it.

An excellent production of a fine story.......2000-12-16

For anyone seriously interested in the paranormal, this movie is a must. For anyone who's had an experience and endured humiliation and ridicule, this movie is even more important. The story, based on an actual incident beginning in 1901, is well written and masterfully performed. I've wanted to see a movie of this caliber, regarding the paranormal, my entire adult life. Finding it has been akin to discovering hidden treasure.

This is an excellent "camp" drama. Great acting, well scripted makes one feel they are actually with these two ladies in Versailles.As a viewer I was drawn by the "normal" lives of these women who suffered an extraordinary experience. Well worth watching for lovers of English and French history.
