Quite Good

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2015)

Inspiring film of faith, hope, and love on the home front during the Second World War. Well directed and beautifully written, the film can be a bit too heavy handed at times but it still manages to be very moving. Of course, an excellent cast is highlighted by another superb performance by Emily Watson. As the mother of the child at the center of the film, she lights up the screen with every scene in which she appears. Her eyes speak volumes about who she is and what she feels, more than 50 pages of dialog and exposition. Watson is truly one of the greatest actresses of the last 50 years and continues to prove that fact and stun audiences with her incredible gifts in role after unforgettable role.
