didiermustntdie agree with user-William James Harper, but it's beyond morality..a ridiculous movie about 3 girls of different backgrounds and characters working at a farm in WWII. Prue is "easy" or slutty, Stella seems strong opinionated,Ag is a virgin..however they all "in love" with Joe.. there are lots of ridicules but 3 scenes for each woman to be presented here1,prue scene.... when her newly wedded husband dies, she cries like he is her first love or they are loving couple for many years and tested by time .. but we all see her sleeps with at least 3 guys in the movies..what's more, she is extremely cheap,even a very sluttish prostitute has something reserved . I never see anyone like that in movies or real life.and, would any decent guy marry her?? a woman with very bad fame plus lack of basic self control. and really shameless, not by sex or morality,just by common sense of human behavior!2,Ag scene, a virgin asks a man to have sex with her ,because she wants some experience before marriage,(also remember she has already met her future husband and promised)..well, if she could do such a thing, why could she be a virgin in the first place 3, Stella scene, a minor one, a woman kisses a man, after telling him she loves another man who is her Fiancéenough? I haven't mentioned others, too many..the whole place is worse than brothel.it's supposed to be a film about normal young working women in WWII, but there are 20+ words like "sex", "sleep with" in it..I remember I watched a porn movie when I was a kid, there is a scene a woman is showing her jealousy and anger over her lover's betrayal and sleeping with another woman. so, i reckon even porno makers know some minimum dignity and esteem of women?? like movies about women in war? watch french movie "a french woman" instead..this movie shows the stupidity , clumsy, also pretension of the Brits,pathetic..greatest shame I have ever known for the Brits,pity Britain are getting worse today.but what's unbearably disgusting now is they are trying to defame its past.. having ruined today isn't enough, ah?

michelerealini The main interesting points of the film are the beautiful English countryside and the three actresses -Catherine McCormack, Rachel Weisz and Anna Friel... they're charming and witty, they're well together.The film instead is quite boring -the story is not so intriguing, honestly. Many actions are quite predictable, emotions go not very high. The director doesn't propose anything special, the film is formally correct but it misses something...It's a pity, because the period chosen for telling the story deserved a more accurate way of telling the facts.

geofflovelock Although obviously a work of fiction the film does reinforce some of the myths about work as land girls: all romance and very little hard work. The attitudes of the characters are really out of place in the 1940s England and would be more at home a generation later. Entertaining, but hardly educational as some have suggested.

rosebud-54 I must compare LAND GIRLS (1998)with the newly-released (2001) ENIGMA both of which I saw this evening. The more recent film is utterly cliche-ridden (Tom Stoppard, the screenwriter, even throws in a bit borrowed from John Buchan's 39 STEPS!) while David Leland's movie continues to surprise the viewer to the last frame. The horror,the restraint, the mood of Britain at war come through careful period reconstruction. Reality is heightened so that the dazzlingly photographed British countryside continually reminds us of the dark shadow of War which hangs over these young lives. The acting is uniformly good and many of the cast come from the British stage to deliver real truth-of-performance. Unlike ENIGMA'S characters you believe the Land Girls and the people around them.
