then a young Polish man broke into their lives. Janet and Ursula took care of the injured Andrea, hired a doctor for him, taught him to speak English, bought him clothes, and when they learned that Andrea liked the violin, they borrowed a musical instrument for him. I don't know if it is too mundane and narrow-minded to say that this is due to their secret affection for Andrea, especially Ursula. But we all know that only those who really like you will be really good to you, no matter what kind of liking it is, whether it needs to be reciprocated.
The young Polish man met the German female painter Olga. The same artistic temperament, more important, the same youth, the story must be getting them closer and closer. Olga even has an older brother who is a famous musician. Finally, the two of them left town for London together. Andrea came on stage and was a huge success. At the after-concert celebration dinner, Janet and Ursula met Andrea in a hurry, and before they started talking (how much more could be said?), Andrea was pulled over to introduce him to a certain jazz. Janet and Ursula left the venue and left London.
This is a slow movie. Like most British films, the story is told like flowing water, and all the contradictory feelings come and go invisibly.
We have no reason to hate Andrea, but after the movie, I can't help but wonder, can feelings be used as gifts? When he knew Ursula's feelings for him, he sat with her on the mountain to watch the scenery, Ursula said it's not your fault, it's my fault. And fault is even an Andrea who doesn't know words.
Life finally settles down, and Janet and Ursula go for a walk by the sea again. How much can we do with our feelings?

About the actors.
The acting skills of the two veteran actors are beyond doubt. Although Grandma Maggie doesn't play much, there is humor and sassiness between the lines in any of the lines. Ursula covered all the furniture in the house with English words, so that Andrea could learn English. Jenet pushed the door and went in. Ursula happily said we 're learning English. Jenet answered with a blank face He might be learning English. You're making holes in the furniture. Close the door and go out. Grandma Maggie has such a great sense of humor! ~And Judi Dench, who would have thought that this hard-boiled old lady could play an old lady who has a crush on a young guy! But that's what acting is for, so a role of Sentimental is so well done, there's really nothing else to do but praise you.
The other supporting characters are also interesting. The cook is an old woman Andrea secretly calls a pack of potatoes. But there is a scene where the cook walks by and two old men sitting on the street, one says to the other she was a cracker 40 years ago. They were both young once.
