Satisfying

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2018)

In 1946, newly successful author Juliet follows up correspondence to investigate the curiously named Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, created during the German occupation of the Channel Islands. But behind the story of the Society lies another story...
Lily James plays Juliet in this gentle but thoughtful period drama. A well-rounded cast all play well, with Penelope Wilton excelling as a woman overflowing with a variety of hurts.
I don't want to say more: rather I would encourage people to see a film which kept me wondering about the answers to questions raised as the film went on.
It is beautifully filmed in locations which one would like to think are authentic, even though they are not.
