This is the story of two very close friends from girlhood on, starting in the early 1970's in Great Britain. It makes me curious as to whether or not all the Brits in the '80s were carrying on with drugs and casual sex, or just the ones shown in the movie. I guess this is when my partner and I were rearing the kids, so we missed all this. From the film, it wasn't really a loss.
The film has some appealing characters, and the plot is OK, though a bit contrived. But since the plot rests on one of them being especially neurotic, it edges pretty close to soap opera. I'm not sure I'm glad I saw it. Two stars would be generous.
