An Old Fashioned Sort Of Film And None The Worse For That

The title rather gives away the fact that this is an essay in whimsy, albeit one with a twenty-first century sensibility. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, whimsy aside, has a hard edge on the topic of wartime occupation and, an added bonus, is stunningly shot - Devon stood in for Guernsey apparently. The film includes predictably strong turns from national treasures Penelope Wilton and Tom Courtenay. A worthwhile watch. 7/10.
