Customer Reviews of On Valentine's Day
A Gift from A Literary Family A quiet little gem with building moments of intensity, "On Valentine's Day" is based on the life of the grandmother of Hallie Foote, daughter of Horton Foote. Hallie stars as her grandmother in this lovely film. Screenplay is by Horton Foote and is produced by Lillian Foote. A young couple marries against family wishes in 1917 Wharton Texas. They move to a boarding house, living with characters who gradually reveal their hearts(including a young Matthew Broderick). A shy, lonely and plain girl befriends the new bride and they soon share their joys, fears and the news that Hallie is pregnant. "Bobby", a troubled, alcoholic and world-weary roomer (played by I believe Michael Higgins) brilliantly emits a sense of impending doom and you can't take your eyes off him. He creates a sense of danger, and you hold your breath, hoping you are misreading him.
Softly photographed, you can almost smell the magnolias. This film brings back the sense of community from a time when neighbors truly knew one another, shared lives and a rhythm of peaceful grace was the rule. This film is a gift from a man whom you may recall wrote "To Kill A Mockingbird", "Tender Mercies" and "Trip to Bountiful", among other works. It is a treasure to cherish from a family which has contributed much to American literature.
This certainly is worth getting on DVD as it will only become more interesting with age and you will want to share it with grandchildren as they get to an age where they can comprehend the real message this film contains.
A glimpse of yesterday
I love Horton Foote's slow paced sense of style. It may not be for everyone but for those who love the drama of everyday life in a beautiful setting this move is for you. The performances are wonderful and endearing.
