Synopsis

World War II. It is England in 1941 in the glorious Dorset countryside. Three beautiful young women of different social backgrounds, Stella, Ag and Prue, arrive on a remote farm. They are the 'Land Girls' - city girls who have volunteered to take the place of young men who have gone to war. They are an unlikely trio: Prue is vivacious and sexy; Ag is quiet and more reserved; while the dreamy, beautiful Stella is in love with Philip, a dashing naval officer. Despite their differences, they soon become close friends. The film follows their relationships with each other and the men in their lives in the face of war.

Critics' reviews

"More than with most movies, I felt the reality of the rural setting, the earth beneath the grass, the closeness of the animals to their masters. But the story itself seemed thin in comparison (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Made in the British tradition of quality, the film adds another panel to the revisionist history of women's roles in WWII--Women's Land Army"

Emanuel Levy: Variety
"The movie is ultimately more passionate about its characters' place in history than about their individual lives, which take fairly predictable if not always happy turns"

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"It's light but not empty, sometimes very funny and moving, the individual worries and heartbreaks of each character combining to evoke the uncertainties and anguish of war-time Britain. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Giala Murray: Empire
