Being a romantic at heart, this is one of those movies that I had high hopes for a happy ending, but expected the worst.
Being a really big fan of Bill Nighy since forever and really liking Emily Mortomer since The Newsroom, I went into this movie not being sure what to expect. Bill Nighy was not in it enough for my liking and it was a bit slow, but some movies have to be slow to appreciate them.
Emily Mortimer did a good job, but the actress who stole the movie for me was Honor Kneafsey.
Anyone going into this movie expecting anything more than it is needs to remember this is set in 1959, from my reading of history nothing much happened at a fast pace almost directly after WW2. People were still rebuilding, its a pity though that the attitudes of the snobs still ruled.
This movie should get most peoples emotions running high. I enjoyed it even though I had to pause it when I saw what was coming.
A good movie to watch once.
