Synopsis

Taking place in pre-war England, aging sisters Ursula and Janet live peacefully in their cottage on the shore of Cornwall. One morning following a violent storm, the sisters spot from their garden a nearly-drowned man lying on the beach…

Our take

Nothing less than British acting royalty, Maggie Smith and Judi Dench play off each other beautifully in this charming tale of impossible love. Set on the swoon-inducing shores of Cornwall, Ladies In Lavender is as much a picturesque period piece as it is an acute examination of sisterly love.
