A terrific cast and all of director Sally Potter's evident skills with a camera can't save this vacuous account of two girls, best friends from early childhood, growing up in 1960s Britain and getting involved with CND and the sexual revolution. Of course, with Potter you know precisely what you're going to get, (something intelligent as well as something prone to dullness rather than excitement), and this is no different. That 'terrific' cast all act as if heavily dosed on Prozac and there are no characters you might actually want to spend time with. If Potter archives anything with this film it's turning one of the most exciting decades of the last century into one of the dullest on film.
