M J @RT21990381 Apr 16, 2026 The happy ending scene is way to rush, I could barely see the development of the 2 main characters' feelings. See more Denis L. @Viriato Feb 25, 2026 I really don't know why I like this movie as much as I do but I've found myself rewatching it a couple of times. Interesting characters and who doesn't love Lily James? See more Mia O @Mia777 Feb 24, 2026 Enough with stories where betrayal is disguised as love! It’s really annoying to watch a girl dumping her loving, caring, handsome and wealthy fiancé for a village single father, who is a poor swineherd/builder. Girl literally prefers to drink low quality beer in a shabby tavern with a guy who just came from the stables and smells like pigs rather than enjoy fine dinner in London’s best apartment with an extremely wealthy young and handsome (the most important- loving and loyal) guy who does everything for her. They want us relate to this woman and understand her choice ? But how ?? No it’s not a romantic story ! It’s a story about a girl with victim mentality who feels not worthy of good life and downgrades her lifestyle by going to a small town and imposing herself to strangers. Annoying, I couldn’t finish it See more JM H @JMH9999 Feb 7, 2026 Great for a quiet, reflective evening. See more Chris F @thechrisfigaro Sep 21, 2025 We are expected to cheer for a protagonist who heartlessly abandons her attractive, kind, wealthy, and supportive fiancé for a stranger from a remote island, simply because he's a fellow bookworm. It’s irrational and absurd. If the filmmakers wanted us to cheer for this choice, they should have painted the fiancé as some villainous scoundrel. Instead, he’s decent, and she breaks his heart anyway. I can’t celebrate that. I ended up rooting for the fiancé to find someone who actually loves him without confusion or betrayal. He deserves the happiness she didn’t give. See more George R @RT45747102 Aug 24, 2025 Really enjoyable historical fiction. Have your Kleenex handy for the emotional second half. Lily James is one of my favorite actors and again she shines in this film. A sad look at the personal trauma inflicted by Germany during WWII + a satisfying romance/happy ending.
