I really liked this movie. Recently I was criticized for being overly critical of RomComs and I expect they may be right. I find the cut and paste RomComs that seem to be cranked out these days devoid of real comedy and totally lacking in any of the nobility of true romance, neither depth of character or narrative that would make me feel any depth of emotion. But, movies like this have some substance behind the relationships and within the characters, in short some credible drama. This has all that, the humour of fallible creatures living an imperfect existence looking for someone to raise life to be better than its parts. Plus, it has stellar performances by Gemma Arterton, Sam Clafin, Bill Nighy and Rachel Stirling. I give this film an 8 (wonderful) out of 10. [Romantic Drama with Humour set in Wartime].

A Saturday matinee film watched suitably on a Saturday afternoon. Cheering stuff, and full of ups and downs, with Blitz backdrop. Not a film I'd particularly favour but was in need of something warm and comforting. Now going to watch The Railway Children. Also did enjoy the 1940s British war film references, and smart, snappy dialogue.

A good film, with a story that explores the impact of war on people's lives, highlighting the challenges faced by those who live in the midst of chaos and constant attacks. The narrative also intriguingly addresses how the government uses cinema as a powerful propaganda tool to instill faith in victory and gain international support.

Fine mix of comedy and drama, deftly mixing the tragedies of war with the lighthearted antics of the film set. Not exactly our countries finest film, but it does come close occasionally.
