What a great movie!

Rating: 9/10 (16 August 2018)

Most post war/ war time movies evoke gut wrenching emotions in me, so I typically avoid them, but I got hooked by the the trailer itself.
What sets The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society apart from most other post war/war time movies, is that it captures the emotions of a post war era, in a way that is moving and compelling, without crude imagery.
The actors have done a great job, the cinematography is fabulous , story keeps you engaged, (2hrs running time) and the movie is well directed .
Lily James is a pleasure to watch, Penelope Wilton as usual gives a stellar performance.
Strongly recommend!
