Our Ladies | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

For all its good-natured boisterousness, there is the sense that director Michael Caton-Jones is straining to get the tone just-so.

It's often the company one keeps that makes a journey worthwhile, not the destination. That's as true for the five ebullient Fort William schoolgirls making their first trip to Edinburgh in Our Ladies as it is for the film's audience.

The complex and layered friendship between the group of girlfriends resonates.

There is a lot to like here - but there's no escaping how dated some of the material is.

What's ultimately so joyous about Our Ladies is all the small ways they rebel against their circumstances - while the world wants them to focus on the destination of their lives, they've chosen to revel in the journey.
