Apr. 21st, 2018 01:37 pmThe Guernsey Literary Potato and Peel Society (2018) (rated 12A)

I gave up a gorgeous warm spring evening for this adaptation, so much did I want to see it. I wonder what people who haven’t read the book will make of it. As for me, I enjoyed it and got caught up in the emotion, ( spoilery example ) But that didn’t make me blind to the fact that there were a few clunky expositionary moments. Objectively speaking, I think Their Finest was a better film, but I had never read the source material.
