Closing The Ring (Film)
Published Wednesday, September 24, 2008 by The Movie Club | E-mail this post
3 young men, 2 countries and 1 ring.
The story starts in 1991 with a funeral of a World War II veteran, with the ever reliable Shirley MacLaine and post-Scream Neve Campbell as her daughter. Everybody acts strangely. The movie starts moving back and forth to 1941, and from America to Ireland.
As more characters move into the picture, you wonder how they are all linked.
Closing the Ring may not be the first option of a weekend entertainment movie. In fact, it feels a little soap-operatic at many instances, like a less dramatic Pearl Harbour.
But if you patiently wait for the story to unfold between times and countries, you will slowly appreciate a bittersweet love story.
Old fashioned but touching nevertheless, close this ring if you like war time love stories.
