ninetails888 5.9? Really?Elle Fanning's best performance. She is incredible in Ginger & Rosa and conveys so many emotions believably. She completely disappears into her role, so much you forget it is Elle Fanning. Her performance is heart- breaking and beautiful. The other members of the ensemble which include Alessandro Nivola, Annette Benning, Christina Hendricks, Timothy Spall and Oliver Platt are great. My main problem with the film, though, is Alice Englert's performance. She seemed too detached from the film and Fanning and Englert's chemistry was very one-sided. Fanning was trying much harder than Englert to give the two characters a large amount of chemistry because after all, the two characters had been friends since they were born.The screenplay, also written by Sally Potter, is smart and engaging. There is a very strong plot here and the actors all bring their well- written characters to life. It's a great coming-of-age tale with the best performance by a young actor/actress this year, Elle Fanning. It's worth checking out.Read my full review of Ginger & Rosa and many other film reviews at www.thecheapseatsfilmreviews.weebly.com.

asc85 Elle Fanning gives another fantastic performance, and she is definitely an up and coming star. Unfortunately, her performance is wasted on a film where very, very little happens in almost an hour and a half. I'm not expecting to see "Iron Man" and cars blowing up, but I am expecting to see a storyline. This film reminded me of "The Holy Girl" from 2005, in that both films could have been perhaps 45 minutes in length, and that would have been more than enough time to tell the story without feeling rushed. I really try to use critic reviews on websites like MetaCritic for guidance on what to see, and when I see critics say how magnificent this film is, they really should be sued for malpractice.

johna may A Okay film from writer and director Sally Potter. Don't let the title fool you, this movie is about Ginger (played by the incredible Elle Fanning) much more then Rosa (played by Alice Englert). However, the great acting and great cinematography don't make up for the major problems in the screenplay. Ginger and Rosa are supposed to be childhood friends, but this isn't established very well in the exposition. The noticeable age difference between the lead actresses doesn't help either. Watch it for the Acting must of all, Maybe if Elle Fanning Wins an Oscar one day, this can be remembered as an early showcase of her talents.

John Scott This thought provoking character study follows the everyday lives of teenage best friends, Ginger (Elle Fanning) and Rosa (Alice Englert). It begins in 1945 at the time of the Hiroshima bombing, then moves to London, where the two girls are born. Fast forward to 1960s London where we find a world living under the shadow of nuclear holocaust. Writer and Director, Sally Potter, masterfully portrays the feelings of fear, anguish and concern that the world could end at any moment, through a brilliant story and moody and evocative sense of place and time.The acting of all the cast is outstanding; the excellent Timothy Spall and Oliver Platt as Ginger's godparents, and Annette Bening, stole every scene they were in; but by far the best performance is from Elle Fanning as Ginger. In this Oscar-worthy performance, she sets herself up as 'Elle Fanning - A list actress', rather than simply Dakota's little sister. With a performance like this at only 14 years old, we should expect to see a lot more of her in years to come.
