This is a good vignette-- a lovely, well done chunk of (evidently) a real person's life-- but there's not much of a story here, in the sense of traditional dramatics. I was enjoying the cello music, and some of the scenery in England, but I kept waiting for something to happen. Before anything could happen, the movie was over. Doesn't that make "Hilary and Jackie" more of a "visual aid" of some sort? Something for school or The History Channel or A&E's Biography series? A nice bit of video filler for cable, but a puzzlingly incomplete movie.
