Brilliant Film

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2018)

Having read the book and loved the book I was a little hesitant to watch the film as often film adaptations aren't as good as the book. However I was totally blown away by this. Penelope Wilton in particular deserves all the awards cos she acts everyone out of the park. Lily James and Michiel Huisman also are brilliant as the leads. They have able support form Tom Courtenay and Katherine Parkinson as well as the child actors. What I loved most is that the producers, writers and director stuck to the book quite faithfully and didn't change too many plot points. Overall 9.5 stars with half a star knocked for what i felt was a little bit of a rushed ending.
