Audience Member A simple and realistic depiction of life in England during WW-II. Examining versions relationship with lots of emotion and humour. Enjoyable and relaxed watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Great depiction of wartime England. Initially choppy narrative hurrying to the point at which everyone is placed in their responsibilities. Successfully conveys the gradual development of self realisation and relationships forming: "I don't suppose you'd marry me would you?" ~ "I don't mind.." Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent British film which shows life among women left at home while men were at work. In particular it shows how women from all backgrounds worked on the home front. Fascinating, warm hearted and thoroughly recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad for an old black and White film. Good script. Interesting to see the difficulties and issues that surrounded this time in War History. Not bad! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I really loved this. Slow in parts, and totally romanticized but I could not stop watching. It's a great rainy-day film. A good portrayal of the hardships in Britain during this time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely interesting look at England during WWII, miles away from the US idea. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
