9/10
Low key charm
1 August 1999
My Life So Far, is a very gentle film and a likeable one.

Its story comes from a time that will never again be seen. Set in pre-WW II Scotland, it tells of a large family's relationship with each other and with the beloved estate upon which they live. It moves leisurely from scene to scene, spinning a story that is propelled by a logical flow of occurrences. There are no wrenching emotional peaks. There is conflict, but civilized behavior wins the day.

The actors are without flaw. Every role is cast as it should be. Seeing it, is as comforting as a delicious cup of hot chocolate on a 10 degree day.
