Quote:
"The exceptional color filming by Richard Leiterman and exquisite period costumes and props by Ann Pritchard make the $480,000 budget appear double. However, the strengths of filming and sets are not enough to pull The Far Shore out of its somewhat confusing mix of humour and soap into the mature feature it was intended to be."
