Summary: very good
Review: i liked this...but it was suprisingly different than the others. The overall tone to it seemed a little dreary, but it was still very touching. The little girl who played Cassie was adorable. It was a shock to see Lexi Randall and Christopher Bell so grown up though. I remember them as children in the two previous movies and here they are almost adults in winters end. But nevertheless this is still a charming movie with outstanding performances by glenn close and christopher walken.

Summary: I love it.
Review: I loved all three of these movies. It is nice to find a movie that you can watch with the whole family. I think the 3rd movie stayed close to the book. I wish there were more of these type of movies.

Summary: Wonderful heartwarming movie
Review: Loved this movie! Seeing the previous two videos of this series is not necessary - I hadn't. However, I bet you'll find yourself looking for (or buying)the first two videos after you view this one! I was initially drawn to this video because of the Christopher Walken-Glenn Close pairing. The charactors Walken and Close play are very good and the two actors work well together. Glen Close, as usual, is great! And Walken, to my surprise, is totally likeable and loveable(vs the "scarry" actor I've come to know in so many of his movies!). The charactor development, as well as the wonderful acting, made this a movie that I found myself genuinly caring about the charactors. It certainly kept my interest. It's a great "feel-good, cozy" movie. It certainly took me away into a fantasyland to the early 1900's in the midwest. As soon as I returned this video to the video store, I immediately rented the two previous movies (and am now buying all 3). It is a wonderful series which I am sad to see end. I highly recommend this as a warm, enjoyable movie that families would love; as well as those who simply enjoy sitting by the fire, wrapped up in a blanket for the evening to watch a good movie!

Summary: Not up to par.
Review: The movie opens in March of 1918. The long, bitter winter has yet to come to an end. There is an epidemic of influenza in town and the war has taken Anna's boyfriend overseas. Much as Jacob and Sarah did, Anna waits for every letter from him while tending the sick in town. Back home on the farm, an unexpected visitor will soon rock Sarah's family to its core. Although 'Winter's End' sounds exciting, its frightfully dull and unprofessional. The acting is just not up to par with the first two. Glen Close, Christopher Walken and the entire cast shine in `Sarah Plain & Tall' and `Skylark.' After seeing those, I suppose I was spoiled. I expected that high quality when I bought `Winter's End' and thus, I was shocked and dismayed by this poorly acted out movie. I've seen these actors/actresses at their best and they are very talented. Now, I am left baffled as to what happened here. Did they just not care this time around? Was it the director? A low budget? What? So many questions, so little answers. What really got me was when, `Sarah' (Glen Close) was caught out in a blizzard and almost froze to death. The depth of emotion put into that scene wouldn't fill a tea spoon. `Jacob' (Christopher Walken) put the most into it, but his acting was stilted, unreal and unnatural. Yet, the all time award for stiffness and unnatural acting would be a tie between, Jack Palance (Jacob's wayward father) and Christopher Bell (Caleb) They did a terrible job. To make matters worse, it looks as if the `honeymoon' is over for Sarah and Jacob in `winter's End.' There is no more of that `spark' we enjoyed in, `Sarah Plain & Tall' and `Skylark.' There might be one or two scenes where they shine as they once did, but for the most part, the chemistry is dead.
The biggest highlight of the film was Sarah and Jacob's little girl `Cassie,' played by Emily Osment. She seemed to be the only one who took her role seriously. She was a natural, and very 'real' in her part. She did a great job. But sadly the rest of the cast lost the magic that was, `Sarah Plain & Tall.'
