Circle of Friends (1995)
Country: US/EI
Technical: col 96m
Director: Pat O'Connor
Cast: Minnie Driver, Chris O'Donnell, Geraldine O'Rawe, Alan Cumming, Colin Firth
Synopsis:
1950s: three Irish girls travel to Dublin to study and fall in love, and cope with differing degrees of success with the Church's prohibitive attitude towards carnal desire.
Review:
Americanized version of the Oirish sub-genre popular at the time (cf. Widows' Peak); hence the characterisations are reduced to the simplest of types, and plot developments are clearly signalled. It is, however, enlivened by a charming debut performance from Driver.
