Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
... View MoreThe story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
... View MoreLovely. Of course nothing of this happened... Still a very nice fairytale.
... View MoreI like watching movies where the audience is in on the big secret and the other characters have virtually no clue until they discover who is behind the mask.This sequence is done over and over in this movie and it's fun to watch the look of surprise on their faces when they find out who P1 and P2 are.Not disclosing anything at all when I say this as the title already gives it away.Nice ending too - not too over the top - just right.You will enjoy this 1) If you have a sense of humor 2) You weren't rooting for the National Socialists in the War and 3) are not too upset about the British Royal Family even though they were 100% German from 1711 to 1901. That is the source of a joke or two in the movie.
... View MoreThis movie is a little jewel of movie storytelling. Very nicely done on all aspects. I wouldn't trade all the superhero movies or a week's worth of CGI for two minutes of it. This is what movie making should be. Bel Powley who played Princess Margaret made her character very likable, interesting and funny. Watch out for her. She's got charisma on screen. Any scene she's in is very alive. Everything was well done in this movie. The tune that starts during the gazebo scene and continues in the trek across the bridge was pure movie making genius.Congratulations.
... View MoreNot exactly of course, but then again this might not accurate on how things went down either. Depicting historical figures and a historical event (end of WWII, British crown and so forth) might not be something people are too interested to watch. But then if you like a feel good movie overall and a fish out of water story (loyalty mixing it up with common folk), then you might be right here.Having said that, there is still some tough issues that want to be answered, but even when this gets darker, it never loses focus on the lightness that makes it work. So this isn't too critical or too dramatic, but it is entertaining, while being predictable in giving us the clichés we expect. Having said, costumes and settings are generally good and the acting is decent too
