September (1996)

Disappointing Soap Opera

If you enjoyed the book, I wouldn't recommend the DVD. Some fine actors, but the characters have none of the charm or depth that they have in the book. In fact, the portrayals are not at all true to the book. It appeared to be a cheesy made for TV miniseries: Part soap opera, part horror story. July 2, 2008

Rosamunde's SEPTEMBER excellently done!

Rosamunde's SEPTEMBER was a joy to watch! Even although the story was altered in just two places it in no way detracted and the performances of the characters was excellent. The scenery was magnificent and I would say this is a MUST for Rosamunde Pilcher lovers. June 19, 2008

The Movie September

The movie "September" did not hold a candle to the wonderful book of the same title by Rosamunde Pilcher. The book was filled with much more material about the characters particulary about the wayward sister and the death scene was not as accurate as it could have been. The book is well worth reading, the movie is a possible give away to the S.A. The movie about the my favorite Pilcher book, "The Shell Seekers" with Angela Lansbury was done in a more satisfactory fashion, although this too, because of time (how long can a movie be?)could have gone on and on.
I highly encourage anyone who has not read one of Pilcher's books, to give it a go and forget about "September", the DVD. Bonnie A. April 7, 2008

A good melodrama with beautiful people and settings

SEPTEMBER gives us what we want from a Rosamunde Pilcher narrative: a story with enough mystery and intrigue to balance the obvious cliches, a beautiful place full of landed gentry in the English--or in this case, Scottish--countryside, beautiful people from varying walks of life, and the village idiot (in this case, a dotty woman) to help move things along.

While several of the major actors walk through their roles with no strain, little gems of acting appear in the lesser roles, like the dotty woman, and the little boy who plays the son.

Jacqueline Bisset as the "dazzling" Pandora is as gorgeous and as headstrong as the character requires and manages to capture the viewer's heart along with most of the people she meets. January 12, 2008

A good adaptation of Rosamunde Pilcher book

This a long movie but a good adaptation of the Rosamunde Pilcher
book. The countryside is beautiful and the architecture is wonderful.
Watch it in sequels!!!!!!!!
I liked it............ September 17, 2007
