Lack of good storyline.

Better Late Then Never

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I usually love ghost stories, but this was dire.To begin with, in parts of this film I got the impression that someone on the crew had watched 'Moondial' one too many times and decided to make an adult version. So frankly, not even particularly original.Then there's the lead actress. I've seen better in school plays - wooden, unattractive and looked continually puzzled throughout the entire film. It has the feel of something shot by a group of friends with a hand-held video camera - so amateurish it's ridiculous. Is this a student film project? If so, I don't know what it's doing listed here.If you're thinking of watching it - seriously, don't waste your time.

Shining a ray of hope for other filmmakers with the 'it can be done' attitude Steven M. Smith has accomplished what little others have; delivering a period drama on a budget.'Time Of Her Life' is a feature, which in itself is enough to be praised. Furthermore it uses historical locations based in Essex to draw the magnitude of the love tale to our psyches.The script is forward moving at a pace that allows us to develop affection towards the main character, Alley (played by Laura Penneycard).The movie clings to the issue at hand, resisting the temptation to bombard it with unrelated issues other young filmmakers might have tendency to include.Overall, 'Time of Her Life' demonstrates Steven M. Smith harvests an intelligent perspective on emotional issues and will no doubt grow to become one of the UK's leading film-making figures.

I've just had a chance to see this film, and having read the comments below, feel the need to add my say. First I must say that I have spoken to Greenway about working in their next film, 'The Book', so bear in mind that I think the film is more than good enough to warrant putting my time and effort into the opportunity of working with Steven Smith. I would not discount all of the negative points in the previous two postings (although I'm glad that one had the sense to point out the dazzling performance of the Gardener), however it is clear to me that Steven is going to go far in his career. I did enjoy watching the film, and found that as the story progressed I, like the characters, became drawn into the story of Hylands House.

Saw the movie recently and was very impressed by Director Steven M Smith's debut. It is a really good story, a mixture of romance, lost love, and scary ghost story. Set in modern day with a cross-over into 200 years in the past, which worked very well, the 'herione' discovers links to a tragedy that has created a lovelorn ghost searching for his lost lady love. It was beautifully shot, located in a Gothic mansion and its grounds. The music score was exceptional, and fitted the action and romantic scenes very well. I enjoyed it thoroughly!! Considering it was (by comparison with today's movie budgets) a 'low cost' film, it was as well produced as the 'big bucks' movies. When it comes out on DVD I will certainly be adding it to my movie collection. More from Mr. Smith please!!!
