For the first half of this movie, I was actually quite bored, and even considered leaving. That’s never happened to me before while watching a movie in the cinemas. But then it started to get interesting, and I decided to stick it out.

I’ve never been a big fan of Kiera Knightly, it sounds like she speaks through closed lips, and it was no different with this movie. But it was bearable.

I liked the scene of the war beach – it gave you an insight as to how it was during the war back then. The ending was a real tear jerker, but I really liked the technique they used: that Briney changed the ending of her book, as oposed to what really happened, to make up for all of the pain and heartache she caused to Robbie and Cecilia.

I also really liked that the majority of the soundtrack was made up of clunking typewriter keys. Nice effect.
