The plot is understandable for the initial 50 minutes or so. The emotions and feelings that are not meant to be shared or are considered taboo are brought out innocently and "understandably". But it all changes once the plots takes you to London. It remains no lonher 'understandable" and begs the viewr to as the question: "why?'. Birkin's mother's suggestions of handling her emotions still baffles me, and I just can't imagine that conversation happening in any way. That scene and then the subsequent 20 minutes before the end just doesn't do it for me and what could have been a genuine story of desire, feelings, boundaries, temptations, ethics etc., turns into something unrealistic and unbelievable.

I am so disappointed that a good story is ruined by the way it is told. While there were some questionable moments, which probably can be ignored, a lot of times it just felt rushed. Last 30 minutes you see the story unfold and one can see the logic behind the characters' actions, but most of it felt forced upon, as if the director had a time limit to finish the movie in, thus ruining an interesting story and making it just a passable one.
