Reviews

hogana-43305 This film is a complex interweaving of two stories. The struggle for recognition for the woman scriptwriter is one. And the film within the film which reveals the everyday struggles of ordinary people under the conditions of war is the other.Though it is gentle and humorous and could clearly be dismissed by a particularly unthinking viewer, this film subtly points up the inequalities faced by women both in the historical period depicted (WW2) and by extension still now. The best standard bearer yet for the #metoo generation.

nobilisbellator It's a very good film, and if you're into crying, it's a bloody great film.

Andres-Camara I do not know if they tried to do something else. I do not think so. But at least they have managed to make a movie that you see with affection. Gema appears and fills the screen and you follow her to see what happens to her, although you know perfectly how it will end, but the film is credible and that is not all.He takes many things as a caricature and makes them as such but he does them well.The three protagonist actors are great, but the others are also very good. Is that even those who have to fall ill, you like. That is difficult to achieve and get the viewer in your pocket.Costumes, makeup and art are splendid. They manage to get you into that historical moment.Photography is very good, it's very English and that's good. There are moments that bring a lot of light, but at least they are few.The address, although it does not make plans that look nice to me. But at least, it takes the movie well, it does not bore you and it puts you in your pocket. Get you watch the movie and follow it to the end.It's a movie to see the

Reno Rangan The film was based on the book and about filmmaking, particularly screen writing. Fictional comedy-drama that is set in London in 1940. While the war tearing apart the nation, some people are not disturbed by it. They are going ahead with their film projects, especially war themed to boost the people's confidence. That's when the new arrival, Mrs. Cole, begins her career as a writer. So her experience working with the scripts, meeting the real people whose story are getting adapted and her gloomy romance, everything lets us know.A nice film and a little different than the majority of the film that came this year. The focus was good. I mean while bombs falling from the sky, all this tale concentrated was film business. Something like 'Argo', but given less preference to the war, except its consequences which diverted their plan in some scenario. So there were many small-small twist and turns. It also gets emotional at one stage. A well written and directed film similar to what the film characters did their best in the story.Gemma was good, but Claflin was totally different, in a good way. As much as I enjoyed, I also thought it should have been even better. Because thematically it was not for everyone. I mean the world war was a good idea, but the filmmaking was not like you are usually familiar with. Besides, it was not a laughing out loud comedy. Between the seriousness of war and fun around making films, the combination was rare and well worked out. Those who love pre 50s, 40s settings in a film would enjoy it for sure. Especially if they like films about films.6/10
