I finally watched Brief Encounter for the first time, and it evoked so many emotions in me. The acting, important casting of Celia Johnson, the sets, the precise direction by David Neal, the heartbreaking truthful emotional story by Noël Coward. Ronald is right, this film can be watched today, is still very relevant and poignant, and will be relevant for generations to come.
Val C. A masterpiece. The emotion is real, the uphoria unbridled, and the realization of the impossibility of the fulfillment heartbreaking. David Lean was one of the greatest directors of all time, Celia Johnson perfect for the part, and Trevor Howard one of the greatest actors of all time. Of course only my opinion, but I think I’m right! Suggestion always more effective than graphic reality in film! David Lean made some of the most beautiful and meaningful films ever made!
Also-when familiar with the film-in the first scene (but towards the end of the story, actually) when Celia looks up at Trevor for the last time in the café. So heartbreaking!
This gentleman need not be ashamed of his tears, his emotion or his feelings. Stop being so British! 😢 A stiff upper is not required. When I watch this movie I am an emotional shambles the entire time. This is the movie legends are made from and this movie, it's cast, direction, lighting, all of it, is legendary indeed. 🎥👍
I love this movie. I’ve seen “Brief Encounter” so many times I’ve lost count. Sometimes I will watch it every night upon getting into bed. I don’t know why.
When the movies we're truly art, not a Picasso but a Rembrandt or a Michelangelo.... Definitely not Andy Warhol, or Jackson Pollock this movie truly is a classic heartbreak , and I will miss you dearly..
To be moved by something is to be alive to show one feels - to my ear the ‘terribly, terribly’, ‘awfully, awfully’ accents make it slightly comical I must try and watch ir in full. It is said that it was meant to be a gay assignation, but could not have been made then - who knows

It’s one of the best movies ever. Perfect casting, perfect screenplay, perfect direction, perfect production.
An almost perfect film from David Lean. Great stuff, indeed.
outstanding praise.
Ending was very emotional. Great film!
I cry too. What a great film!
Also-when familiar with the film-in the first scene (but towards the end of the story, actually) when Celia looks up at Trevor for the last time in the café. So heartbreaking!
Celia Johnsons eyes and the brilliant lighting and art direction in this film,make it one of the greatest.
Same !
Thank you!
I have to see this!

Terrific film. Not sure why it's been sped up to comic effect at the end of this clip though.
Sosososo good...
