With Frances Mcwotsit amongst many others? I haven't finished it yet, it was so long, but what I have watched so far was excellent!

I've yet to watch it but looking forward very much - the novel (well actually it's a series of linked stories) is brilliant.

Oh I didn't realize it was an adaptation! I watched about an hour, it was excellent!

I watched it and absolutely loved it. Frances mcdormand was excellent but it was the actor who played her husband Henry who really stole the show for me . Really moving

Yes, I saw it and I thought it was fab. Very moving, well acted and thought provoking. I will come back when you have finished as I want to talk about the end, the beginning and other bits in between...
Love the actors Frances McDormand, Richard Jenkins and Peter Mullan (?) I think Martha Wainwright is the piano player in the bar too. I'll have to check that tho.

Can't quite believe it was a 2 part series. Episodes seemed to go on for a very long time. 100 + minutes when I last looked! Not that I'm complaining...

I watched it, the acting was excellent and some great dark humour too, like when Henry was feeding Denise at dinner. I have never watched Frances McDormand in anything rubbish though, I first saw her in Mississippi Burning and she was brilliant in it.

I started watching this,on your recommendations,and didn't stop. It was fantastic. Reminded me of a lighter Fargo,and I see that Frances McDormand was in that too.

Pah! What do DH's know. I have to say that he didn't whinge through 'Gone Girl' film though. Excellent.

I watched it with my DH and we both loved it, he thought it really touching actually . We thought the acting really good although it was at times a little depressing.

I've just finished watching too, sitting here with red eyes.
Brilliant acting throughout, it really affected me as my dc have moved away and I've got a little dog that goes everywhere with meSad
The scene in the woods when she just howled silently was so moving.
