The Grand Seduction, 2.5 Stars

This is a lovely, slow-moving film, somewhat reminiscent of Doc Hollywood.

Brendan Gleeson (HP series) gives a very strong performance and plays a key part in most of the scenes. Liane Balaban (Definitely, Maybe) has a small role but does it well. One of the highlights is Gordon Pinsent (Away From Her) who plays a curmudgeon of few words and delivers them well.

It takes a little time to get into the slow pace and Canadian humour of the film, but it is very enjoyable.
