Partnered alongside fellow screenwriter, Buckley (Sam Claflin; Me Before You), the pair set off to make a film that will warm the hearts of the nation and capture the imagination of the American population. Alongside Gemma Arterton and Sam Claflin, Bill Nighy (Love Actually) stars as fading matinee idol Ambrose Hilliard, who reluctantly joins their production in a supporting role. Based on Lissa Evans’ novel, ‘Their Finest Hour and a Half’, THEIR FINEST is a witty, romantic and moving portrayal of a young woman finding her way, and her voice, in the mayhem of war… and the movies! Review: Mustard. - Their Finest is a romantic comedy drama set during the blitz. Gemma Arterton is excellent as the welsh girl who finds her independence by fluking a writing job with the ministry of information, she and Sam Claflin [ the cynical screenwriter] make a charming would be couple. The film in atmosphere resembles John Boorman's Hope And Glory with ordinary life and relationships happening despite the war. Bill Nighy is excellent as the aging has been actor, if you read the cover of the DVD you would expect his performance to be comic, but his performance is both funny and poignant in places. Bill Nighy's performance is not the only one that is good in the movie, Richard E. Grant is also good as the man from the ministry and Rachael Stirling is great as the lesbian from the ministry! and then there is the cameo from Jeremy Irons doing his best Anthony Eden impersonation. So there are excellent performances but that is not the only thing to recommend this film it is beautifully shot the cinematography is excellent and the director knows how to frame a shot it makes the film a delight to watch. So far you would think that the war is completely ignored but in two scenes it intrudes gruesomely. So the film has wonderful performances and is ravishing to look at, it is well worth watching and it also has an unexpected conclusion. Review: Good story well filmed - A thoroughly enjoyable film set in wartime London, where people have to get on with their lives amid the danger and debris of falling bombs. Morale-boosting movies about the heroism of fighting troops and ordinary folk doing their bit at home were an important part of the war effort, and this is a story about a small team of film-makers charged with producing a stirring drama about the Dunkirk evacuation. They decide on a plot involving one particular small boat piloted by... well, no spoilers, but it's a nice idea. The story is told with a light touch and humour although it doesn't set out to be a comedy. The period settings and atmosphere are very convincing and the actors do a fine job, Bill Nighy being unmistakably Bill Nighy as always but none the worse for that. The only reason I gave four stars rather than five is that one or two of the plot twists are a little forced, perhaps because the film is keen to illustrate how the war helped women along the road to equality. However, that's not an important criticism and as a whole it's a good film. We watched it twice, enjoying it even more the second time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Amanda Posey, Bill Nighy, Eddie Marsan, Finola Dwyer, Gaby Chiappe, Gemma Arterton, Henry Goodman, Jack Huston, Jeremy Irons, Lone Scherfig, Paul Ritter, Rachael Stirling, Richard E.

So many rich details, and so lots of subtleties what you only catch the 2nd - or 3rd time - round. Very well made, and somewhat unpredictable. So, a sort of RomCom, but much much more. The leads are great - and Sam Claflin more than matches the two more bankable stars. He has a brilliant ability to add depth to the words via much gesture and glance, which is a perfect foil for Arterton's stillness and containment. I was completely entranced and recommend it to others who like a bit of everything in their film - wit, sadness, pacing, romance, irony and the a story which rattles along unexpectedly. I've just ordered the original novel, in the hope of understanding more of the smaller stories which are hinted at. Well directed and edited.
