Quirky European trip

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2014)

This quirky story has a magical feel to it. It has a stellar assortment of actors in unexpected roles. Loved the European journey and atmosphere.
Ralph Fiennes hasn't had a good original role like this for a while and he takes full advantage of it. Nice to see Ms Ronan in a period role that she is suited to.
There are some faults. It could be funnier in parts and the plot doesn't always make much sense but that is the charm of it. Why they were so confrontational with the "Nazis" doesn't add up. It would have been better to see more character development with some supporting cast instead of just a brief cameos.
It's great that movies like this are a success and there need to be more.
