Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Michael Ledo In 1940, England needs an inspiring film to uplift the hearts of their people and to influence Americans to enter the war. A brave story appeared in the paper about twin women who rescued soldiers retreating from Dunkirk in a private boat. Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton) is tasked to interview the women and help turn it into a screen play. The screen play took on a life of its own with changing direction and rewrites. Catrin's life becomes complicated. This was a great story with romance, humor, drama, and a dog. Good characters.

begob During the Blitz a struggling copywriter gets a job to help write a propaganda film about the Dunkirk evacuation, but the men in her life are not always helpful ...Lovely period drama, with a good balance of humour and hurt, and well produced all round. It's a long run time, but the pace is good, and the location switches keep the interest up. The story is love in a time of war, and there are several ups and downs amid the grim cruelty, with the added irony of the characters suffering the screenwriter's trick that they themselves apply: keep upping the ante until they have no choice but to resolve their predicament. There's also amusement in the camera trickery.One complaint: there is a brutal twist, which does tie in with the theme of life not being structured like stories, but I am bewildered by it and feel it wasn't handled right.Some of the humour comes from the chemistry between the screenwriters, but mostly from the crew on set down by the seaside, where Bill Nighy is on good form. The lead actress shows how good she is with quality material, and the cast delivers a solid performance. I particularly liked the scene with the twin sisters in Devon.Overall: Heartening romance that lets in the light and the dark.

xistencial Yeap, it is, boring! For a story happening in the beginning of the most horrendous war on history, there is very little drama or action here. England was bombarded weekly, sometimes daily, but they barely cover the horror of it. The story is also very similar to other movies of beautiful women giving themselves to low life men and finding love on the most logical way, a working and a dedicated man. The cinematography is very good, and the directing too although the director commit the mistake of a slow and desperte tempo. All the actors are great with Mrs Arterton doing an excellent performance. It is the story which is very disappointing and boring.

paul jones This film was a throwback to the great days of film making. The war is merely a background to a story about a group of people trying to do their best in the face of adversity. It's also about women emerging into the workplace and fighting for their right to play a broader role in society. The characters all work together to generate a real empathy with the audience. Mainly, it contains fun, romance, heartbreak, redemption, a good story, fine acting and a warm heart. Park your cynicism for 2 hours and Enjoy.
