Featured review
It is an interesting story as it tells a tale about a group of people who live on the brink of the war without seeming to understand the dangers facing them.
In my opinion, Emma Thompson pretty much carries the whole thing, kind of showing how a very classy lady copes with lesser humans. While there are some story-filling war scenes it is not a war movie as we are used to seeing. It is enjoyable and humous on occasion, showing the foibles that one can encounter in life.
