The film was compelling. It was so interesting to see how the lives of the three "brides" intertwined over the years. Unfortunately, the story was not terribly upbeat, but then that's life.

I THOUGHT THAT THE FILM WAS INTERESTING, AND the story of how their lives were connected.
The nude scene could have been excluded.

I enjoyed it but it was a little hard to understand who all the characters at the funeral were.

Description

Twenty-six post-WWII refugee brides-to-be fly KLM in the 1953 air race from London to Christchurch, New Zealand. There they will begin life with their awaiting fiancés far away from atrocities of war and memories of lost families.

On board, three women are befriended by a handsome young man. Fifty years later, Esther, Marjorie, and Ada reunite at his funeral and reflect on life, love and loss. In dramatic revelations, they discover how intertwined their lives have truly been.

Breathtaking photography of the New Zealand landscape, an authentic portrayal of life at the time, and a storyline that spans five decades make Bride Flight a sweeping romantic saga that demonstrates the inextricable link between past, present, and future.
