Ratings and reviews

Same here! I give this and The 100 Steps Journey for a double whammy of great movies. The Scotland scenery is breathtaking. It's on my dream list. The music is incomperable. Beautyful, soothing, evokes both tears and joy. The story is so real. The actors really make it shine. They embody the heartache and the happiness and the relationships. Not a false step in sight. The actor who portrays Frankie is a wonder. They all are. If you ever want to gift or reward yourself, you cannot be more generous than "Dear Frankie'.

Can't review it because you just have to watch it. My husband really liked it because there's nothing predictable about this movie. Not your typical romantic flick.

Wonderful story with superb acting. Honestly I think I have bought this movie like ten times because I keep giving it to people I think would appreciate it.
