Circle of Friends (1995)

Synopsis: Three childhood friends in 1950s Ireland go to the same University and get involved with boys. Eve, an orphan, dates Aidan and won't have sex before marriage; Benny has to ride the bus back to her small town every day; she meets Jack in the University and they fall in love with each other; Nan is the most liberated of the three; she starts a relationship with an older man.
Appraisal: Not much to this; the story is predictable, there is one character right out of Dickens (Sean Walsh, after Uriah Heep), the acting is satisfactory, everything is well done.
Rating: 51
