A polished gem from 1995, this disarmingly sweet and dramatically insightful love story provided a charming showcase for Chris O'Donnell and, especially, then-newcomer Minnie Driver, whose performance drew critical raves and boosted her career to Hollywood. Smoothly adapted from the novel by Maeve Binchy and set in Ireland during the 1950s, the story focuses on Benny (Driver), a somewhat plump, plain-looking young woman attending university in Dublin who meets and quickly falls for Jack (O'Donnell), a handsome star of the university's rugby team who surprisingly reciprocates her glowing admiration. They're drawn together as soul mates, and their love is dramatically contrasted with a subplot involving Benny's more conventionally beautiful friend Nan (Saffron Burrows), whose appetite for older men leads her into a misguided and ultimately tragic relationship. A betrayal by Jack sets the stage for potential heartbreak, but director Pat O'Connor prevents these carefully drawn characters from resorting to sappy melodrama. They have lessons to learn about life and love, and Circle of Friends teaches those lessons with grace, humor, and heartfelt sincerity. --Jeff Shannon

This is an absolutely beautiful coming of age film, set in an Ireland of a different time that no longer exists. Driver is wonderful as an exceptional girl whose boyfriend has the brains to see beyond her plain appearance. Few films transmit the joy of discovery of youth: sex, of course, but also ideas that go beyond the confines of family and village. It is a time of opening out, when you can choose who you want to be while you know you are losing something from childhood as well. The film ... Read More

If you love Ireland, get this movie. It's a beautiful homage to the country, and she sure looks great.
If you love heroines who are are not typical, get this movie. Benny (Minnie Driver in an excellent performance) is a chubby, clumsy girl who has a big heart that breaks - and her big heart serves her well. You just root for her all of the time because she is so genuine. I'm not going to give you the plot because I don't want any spoilers to ruin your enjoyment. Oops, perhaps I gave you ... Read More
