I thoroughly enjoyed the movie of Coming Home. Having read the book a number of times and enjoyed it each time, I was pleased that the movie kept to the story line for the most part.
The actors and actresses who performed were all excellent and filled their roles perfectly.
It is the kind of movie I could and will watch again a number of times.

Unlike most of the other reviewers I've never read the book nor am I a fan of the author. The only reason for watching this mini series was Peter O'Toole, one of the alltime great actors of our time. He still was a pleasure to watch but even though, I could not bring myself to watch the second disk of this bland, superficial, boring mess. I rather hold out for "Venus" to come out on DVD.

I am so disappointed in the so-called "adaptation" of the wonderful book by Rosamonde Pilcher. It was a real massacre of the story and changed so many things that I finally gave it up. Why was Peter O-Toole made the star of the production when, in the book, he was one of the rather minor characters? I did not expect all the characters from the book to be in the film, but why were some thrown out just to insert new ones? I guess the script writers thought they were better writers than Pilcher - well, guess again. This movie is poorly acted amd worse written. If you love the book as I do, skip the movie.

Coming Home kept me in my chair reading, ignoring the TV and what was going on around me. It's one of her longest novels, after Shell Seekers, and the people in that 6x9 walk and talk and make me ignore my coffee, even! It's one of the type of books you have to list as a READ. It follows the characters from childhood to established adulthood, in the wonderful areas of Penmarron and Cornwall, with a little seasoning of other locales as well. Don't miss it. If you're late discovering Rosamunde Pilcher, as I was, do it now!

I was disappointed with the adaptation of Rosamunde's Pilcher's epic novel. The filmmakers simply did not have enough time to develop any of the characters. It is all "tell" and no "show." You are told that Judith wins the Cairn Cup, but are never shown her doing anything that would indicate why she deserves it. You never see the friendship between Loveday and Judith or develop. There are some good performances, such as the actor playing Tommy Mortimer and Peter O'Toole (greatly underused) and I liked what they did with the character of Jess, but overall, it is a disappointment.
