Their Finest* (12A)
(Cineworld Braintree)
(GB 2016)
In 1940 a spirited artist's wife who writes newspaper strips is recruited to co-write a propaganda drama that will encourage American participation.
Parochial but pleasant wartime romantic drama, not quite going all the way with its romantic and dramatic developments, and also lacking some of the focus and economy of the semi-documentary films themselves that the story is semi-based on. What is left are some typically good frustratingly brief cameos from good actors, and a general level of technical competence.
Written by: Gaby Chiappe, from the novel "Their Finest Hour and a Half" by Lissa Evans.
Producers: Elizabeth Karlse, Amanda Posey, Stephen Woolley.
Director: Lone Scherfig.
Starring: Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin, Bill Nighy, Jack Huston, Richard E. Grant, Henry Goodman, Jeremy Irons, Helen McCrory, Rachael Stirling, Jake Lacy.
Photography: Sebastian Blenkov.
Music: Rachel Portman.
