Memorable, crazy movie
hyped garbage
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
A great adaptation told with pace, style and class. Each actor performed with grace and eloquence. The range of emotions brought the characters a depth of empathy for time and place. Beautiful scenery, award worthy direction and cinematography. Thank you.
The story line is very nice even thought there are some typical things that are happening.
Lovely cinematography and fair acting by a number of names, but no chemistry whatsoever between the two leads on the isle of Guernsey. She's in love with him - why? We don't feel it. Because he cares for the little girl of a woman who was dragged off by the Germans? That's the only reason I can see. I felt this was a waste of time.
Almost as good as the book, which is high praise. No super-heroes (thanks), nothing blows up (thanks). Well paced, exquisite cast. I know it's hard to not like kids in movies, but the young girl that played Kit simply demands your emotion. I felt like I did after seeing My Brilliant Career or films in that vein. Findlay, Parkinson and Wilton? Perfect. See it.
