wgingery Fine performance from Alicia Vikander, revealing the sensuality beneath the intellect, the steel inside the woman.The men's performances work well, too, because the director has drawn out the essence: innocent young men cast into a furnace.Don't be fooled by the first part. This is not Masterpiece Theatre. But Brittain was the daughter of an upper class, wealthy family, and you can't understand the shock of the war's devastation without first experiencing her innocent, luxurious life before."You don't know what you have until you lose it." The book wasn't published until 1933, so this story represents the fruits of mature reflection on the personal costs of the war.If I have one objection, it's that in the hospital and war scenes, the women always seem so well groomed and their clothes so clean. I wanted more disheveled hair, and soiled, torn and patched uniforms,(For a film about the Great War from a different perspective, that of a Scottish farmer's wife, see "Sunset Song," with Agyness Deyn.)

Irishchatter I found that this movie was very sad because just like World War 2, loved ones were lost, overcrowding hospitals, soldiers,etc. Alicia Vikander was absolutely excellent at playing the role as the writer Vera Brittain. I seriously didn't know that Vera Brittain was a real person until before the credits that she was an actual help nurse during World War I. It really makes you think, what was it like back then? I'm sure it was pretty rough looking after all the injured and the dying soldiers at the same time. It probably was pretty exhausting for running around looking after everyone! It's heartbreaking that her fiancée, her brother, her brothers friend and many others she knew who fought in the war. I swear, even thought the actor's are not the actual people, it still breaks your heart. If you haven't cried while watching this, something is wrong here. It's just so sad, that's all I can say😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔 💔💔💔

PetarDuric Movie focuses on Vera, a woman that stands for herself all the time and constantly keeps doing what she thinks is best at the moment but in the way goes through many unexpected events. Vera is ambitious woman and her priorities are set on attending Oxford but everything is changed when she met Roland. As she and Roland are falling in love war starts and now situation is changed as Edward (Vera's brother) and Roland are leaving. That put her in a lot of pressure and brought her noting but worries and she decides to become nurse. She lost everybody in the war first Roland and then as she was nursing in France saved her brother but months later a message arrived that her brother died which led to dramatic change in her thoughts and behavior. Filled with memories and grief, it was a harsh path that she was already experiencing but as much as she is in pain that much she understands things and it was amazing. Movie just focuses on Vera which was amazing but there could be more characters involved and some actions didn't quite fit also pacing of the at times feel very slow. Alicia Vikander played Vera and she was absolutely brilliant as she portrays a strong women with her attitude, but with cleverness and smartness that was remarkable. So much pain but at the same time beauty and will in one character is brilliant. Kit Harrington played Roland and he was amazing with portrayal of how men that saw a lot of horror deal with it and how troubling their return to social life is difficult even if it's for short period of time. There were some absolutely amazing and beautiful scenery. 3.5/4
