Cider with Rosie

About This Movie

Cider with Rosie, based on Laurie Lee's own life, captures the essence of rural England during a transformative period. The film flows at a leisurely pace, allowing moments of tenderness and nostalgia to seep through. The performances, especially from the young lead, bring a raw authenticity to Laurie’s journey of self-discovery amidst a richly painted backdrop of Gloucestershire. There's a certain warmth in the storytelling, but also a bittersweet undercurrent as it reflects on the passage of time and the simplicity of rural life. You can feel the texture of the world they inhabit – the sounds, the sights, the everyday struggles and joys. It’s not flashy or overly dramatic, but it resonates with a deep sense of place and memory.
