This is a great movie. It has drama and tension without being extreme or dependent on it. It has the interplay of people in a small town that have known each other all of their lives. There is a conflict between two men that is brought to the surface, and into the open, by the arrival of The Nephew from outside of the small town. Both old and new love stories happen here. I liked the ending and this has to be my favorite appearance of Pierce Brosnan. He is much more real in this film than any of the others that I've seen. This movie is dedicated to Chad Brady, I don't know why as it is the first name of the main character and the last name of Pierce Brosnans character.
I recommend this movie to anyone that enjoys the real relationships of life. The give and take of actual life over what Hollywood and New York would like us to think of as true life. For me (being in the US) this is a Foreign Film, but only because of the filming location. The story is quite universal and not limited by the location.
