Circle of Friends (1995)

Irish Drama - based on the novel written by Maeve Binchy - Ireland in the 1950's, three girls grow up together and attend the same university in Dublin. Drama begins here as two of them fall for the same guy. Interesting characters, each from different family backgrounds and all struggling to find their individual ways. Benny is strong and warm-hearted, Nan is beautiful to look at but a bit twisted morally, and Eve is the well balanced personality that seems to hold the trio friendship together. Well acted and beautifully photographed. Slow moving but it grabs you in the final chapters. Enjoyable movie. 112 min.
