ThiefHott Too much of everything

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

jackdnimble Seems so nostalgically Allen. the dark humor. the flawless acting - marvelous actually. the casting - Wow!! the vintage scenery, costumes- except Mark Strong// Not sure why they decided to outfit him with the ill fitting jacket - totally out of tune with the 1930's Milanese London couture!the music, just mellifluous!are you sure? To me at least, there were ample flavours of Allen.Either way, a very mice movie. Well cast, well acted and obviously well directed.Bharat - nalla irikka - awesome job!! Keep up the good work and pump out more of these fantastic products.

Desertman84 A late-'30s-era London governess hired to work in the home of a high- profile nightclub chanteuse gets a taste of the good life when she is assigned the task of sorting out the singer's many unseemly affairs in a period comedy entitled Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day,a romantic comedy film directed by Bharat Nalluri.The movie stars Frances McDormand and Amy Adams together with Ciarán Hinds and Lee Pace. The screenplay by David Magee and Simon Beaufoy is based on the novel of the same title by Winifred Watson.Frances McDormand portrays Miss Pettigrew, whose inability to hold a job in London as a governess compromises her well-being shortly before England's entry in World War II. Finessing her way into a position as social secretary to a young, American gold-digger and singer named Delysia Lafosse, the starving Miss Pettigrew finds herself at the center of a whirlwind that is her new employer's life. Hemmed in by lovers and suitors--including a young, theatrical producer looking to cast one of his pleasing girlfriends in a plum role; a creepy nightclub owner in whose flat Delysia lives; and a pianist who genuinely loves her. Delysia needs a map to figure out how to navigate through life. Miss Pettigrew, who suffered a loss during World War I that she does not speak of, nudges the naive songstress toward wise decisions. But she is at the mercy of Delysia's formidable friend, who knows the truth about her impoverished state and is engaged to a much older man. The latter, a fellow of substance who seems to be meandering through life, falls instantly for the soulful Miss Pettigrew.This is a breezy period comedy carried by the strong performances of Amy Adams and Frances McDormand. Wisely cast, this handsome production is a delightful farcical fairy tale, bolstered by moments of depth and emotion.Also,it is a well-acted comedy with enough old-fashioned qualities to make it an enjoyable experience for long-standing audiences that is happens to be an undeniably entertaining film due to its pacey direction.

Lee Eisenberg An important plot device in cinema is when a character goes through a change, whether on his/her own or through influence from an outside party. "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" features such a storyline. Frances McDormand plays Guinevere Pettigrew, an unemployed governess in 1930s London who goes to work for giggly, high-strung actress Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams), who is in relationships with three men at once. Delysia introduces Guinevere to high society, but Guinevere senses something unfulfilled in Delysia. This probably won't be a one-way street after all.The movie is at once a nostalgia piece, but also reminding us of the conditions in England on the verge of WWII, and looking at the obvious phoniness of the high society lifestyle. Frances McDormand plays Miss Pettigrew to her fullest, as does Amy Adams as the ditsy Delysia. I can't believe that McDormand didn't get ANY award nominations for it. The movie hits all the right notes. Also starring Ciarán Hinds and Shirley Henderson (Aberforth Dumbledore and Moaning Myrtle, respectively, in the Harry Potter movies).

Roland E. Zwick "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" is an old-fashioned, moderately entertaining comedy-of-manners that is never quite as captivating or as scintillating as we keep hoping it will be.This roundelay of love, drawing-room comedy and farcical misunderstandings takes place among the snooty theatrical set in pre-WWII London. Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams) is an ambitious if slightly ditzy American actress who's juggling an assortment of romantic and sexual partners on her way to fame and fortune. Guinevere Pettigrew (Frances MacDormand) is a frumpy, somewhat eccentric, but wise and ethical professional governess who, in her capacity as Delysia's personal "social secretary," helps to steer the morally unfocused ingénue through the shoals of emotional game-playing and artful deception that are practically de rigueur in the social world to which she aspires – only to discover that the two women have more in common with one another than their widely disparate positions on the social scale would lead one to suspect.Based on the novel by Winfred Watson, with screenplay by David Magee and Simon Beaufoy and direction by Bharat Nalluri, "Pettigrew" suffers from creaky plotting, strained comedy routines, and a gruelingly predictable outcome, but the performances are classy (especially by McDormand), the settings rich in atmosphere and ambiance, and the whole thing so entirely inoffensive and good-natured that we can't really complain too much if it isn't all we would like it to be.
