This movie was very slow. They had taken the idea of jumping from past to present which at times was very annoying. There was some great acting though, mainly from the wolves. Then again I don?t know if they were acting or just being themselves!

The story was a good one. Set in the mid 1800?s in Manitoba, Canada the main character was a young French woman living in a girl?s home. The home was set up to teach the women how to sew, read, write and look after their future husbands. A young Scottish man came to find himself a bride and this is where our French woman?s (Annie) journey begins. She was chosen and set off with her new man to his secluded house in the middle of nowhere. His younger brother was waiting for them and he seemed like more of a man than his brother who had a real attitude. She was forced to have sex with him, cook all their meals and help them build their dream home. She managed to become good friends with the younger brother and the older one found this very intimidating. They barely saw anyone and as winter approached things became more and more heated between the three.

One day the two brothers set off for supplies, days passed and the French woman became worried. Then one day they returned, but the older brother wasn?t alive. This is where the present day flashes become clear. She is in a prison making friends with everyone. She is asked to make some costumes for the local play and does an exceptional job. The officer in charge of the little prison can?t quite work the French woman out, but seems to feel pity for her even though she claims to have killed her husband. As the days pass so does the time and soon enough life is back to normal. But what of the truth and did Annie really kill her husband as she claims?

THE EXTRAS

One extra, the trailer which seems to make the movie more exciting than it really is.

CONCLUSION

When a young French woman is married to a mean Scottish man and sent to live out in the middle of nowhere in the mid 1800?s America, life could not be underestimated. Like they say, two’s company but three’s a crowd.
