Rating: 7/10
The story of a movie withing the movie during World War II. A lady has
to be a part of the script writing for a movie.
The movie is said to be a feminist comedy drama and I was lucky enough
to watch the Red Carpet Premiere at the Dubai International Film
Festival along with the Director (Lone Scherfig), producer and actor
(Bill Nighy).
Definitely a beautiful period movie with a some slight comic bits here
and there, blended with heart touching sentimental scenes. Beautiful
visuals; sound design and set design are wonderful. The performance of
the actors are added to the quality of the movie.
As the movie movies towards the cliché of a Hollywood ending, the
director decides the other way. A major shocking twist.
An unforgettable movie that will leave a mark in your heart. A must
watch and highly recommended.
