So much of what goes on in this movie is left unsaid which gives you things to ponder after the movie ends. It's not the in your face, direct drama of many movies today.

In the style of "Doctor Zhivago," "Ryan's Daughter" is another sweeping, romantic epic of the early 1970s. It's a little overlong, but the Irish location photography itself is worth viewing. Robert Mitchum handles his unusual role of a sexless schoolmaster quite well, and Sarah Miles does a good job with the "wild Irish Rosy." Christopher Jones, as Rosy's soldier lover, came across as a little "flat" to me, but he's still "darkly handsome and brooding." The film lacks the historical scope of "Zhivago," but I'd still recommend it for those who like romance, gorgeous location photography, and, overall, a good rainy-day diversion.

We thoroughly enjoyed the plot and the cinematography. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a romantic and especially has visited Ireland. The acting was superb!

I couldn't handle how easy it was to have an affair. Didn't seem real because she didn't like sex with her husband whom she pretty much begged to marry her. I the village of Ireland was real and I enjoyed watching the locations. I have visited that area before so that was worth it but location only was worth this movie.
