Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
juneebuggy This was really good for a made-for-TV production. I've actually seen it a couple of times now and I just love the time travel/ghost element. It's along the lines of the classic heartbreaker 'Somewhere In Time', Hallmarks 'The Love Letter' or even 'The Lake House'. With decent acting, and a clever, well thought out story containing elements of mystery, suspense and romance.The story follows a newly single workaholic (Rob Estes) who buys a rundown cottage in Maine where he encounters the ghost of a woman (or so he thinks) who used to live there in the 1960s. As the two form a friendship, they realize that somehow they are sharing the same space even though there is 50 years between them. 'Brian' then becomes determined to change her fate.This was just all-round better than most TV movies; not cheesy and with attention paid to the set decorating and (60's) period detail (clothing, hairstyles, kitchen knick-knacks, cars etc.) These things usually get overlooked in the made for TV stuff. The setting is also beautiful, the house and garden which play a huge role here.This is definitely a story that haunts you for a few days afterwards (I may have even shed a tear) the only real issue I had was the sometimes too loud background/theme music. 5/25/15 *Langley BC as Maine.
gousnr I love this movie. It's a true romance. I found the movie on the Hallmark Channel and recorded it several months ago. Finally got a chance to see it today. I'm shocked I hadn't heard of it before.The best part of this movie is that the romance doesn't include any sex scenes. Instead, it's a true love story that isn't drippy or crass. This movie satisfied the romantic in me without being embarrassed while watching. It's a movie even my husband (the Marine) would watch. I want a garden like that.Of course it didn't hurt that the main character is very handsome and easy to look at. The acting is well done and very believable. I can't wait to find more movies with the some of the same actors.
edwagreen Breaking up with his fiancé and moving from San Francisco to Maine. Our hero buys a cottage. He didn't want to buy it, but something told him it was the right thing to do. Already, I'm wondering if this is for me.Our guy hears people talking in the house. You immediately wonder if there are ghosts. Then we are subjected to a couple living in the house and the year is 1960. Eventually, we find out that our lady, who has Lyme disease, meets an awful end at the hands of her abusive husband. She is communicating with our guy via fireplace in the living room.If this is more incredible, our guy's ex-fiancée suddenly shows up and reverses everything by throwing a love locket in the fire. Then, we're back in 2011 and another walk through the garden.Credibility is lacking here. This isn't even for the romantics. There is some good acting, especially the abusive husband.
daystarg7 In the tradition of Somewhere in Time, Kate & Leopold and The Gate House, Edge of the Garden reminds me of another very similar time travel romance movie from Hallmark Hall of Fame. When I first saw The Love Letter (1998), I decided that time travel romances were my absolute favorite, and this movie did not disappoint. It may be similar in structure but, in its own romantic way, it stands on its own. Keep up the good work, Hallmark – I hope you make more of these types of movies! Only one question - can roses and hyacinths bloom at the same time? A beautiful garden played a key center point in bringing the main characters together. At one point during the movie, it was mentioned these two flowers were blooming simultaneously. Hyacinths are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, and roses, as well as most of the flowers mentioned, are not early spring blooming. A very trivial point, considering this classic movie also deserves to be part of the Hallmark Hall of Fame.
