Review of The Blackwater Lightship (2004) by Monsieur R — 08 Sep 2010
A Hallmark Hall of Fame production, this one is about AIDs.
Need I say more? Lots of flashbacks, this film is well done and worth your time, which is more than I can say about alot of rubbish out there today.
Shot on the banks of Ireland somewhere, I forgot the location but a roadsign early in the film does say where, this is a film about forgiveness, or at least understanding.
A mother looses her spouse to cancer and her mother keeps the fact away from a daughter and son to spare them grief.
Instead, it promotes life long grief. The daughter is more mother to the brother than the mother is.
Lots of bickering and hate in this one. But if you want good acting, good plot and plenty of nice gay men taking care of the brother, watch this, you will not go away mad or disappointed.
Two elbows up for Blackwater Lightship.
