A good film

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2008)

The trouble with hype is it sets your expectations too high. That said I thought this was a lovely film, and it just seemed to whizz by in no time. It was beautifully filmed and good performances were put in by all the cast , drawing you in and making you feel sympathetic towards the main characters. The twist toward the end of the film was unexpected as well. Being pedantic , the only thing that slightly irritated me about it was that ,in the Dunkirk scene, soldiers were singing" Bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover" which wasn't written until 1941! Apart from that minor quibble ,I would highly recommend it but don't set your expectations ridiculously high like I did!
