The year is 1940, London. With the nation bowed down by war, the British ministry turns to propaganda films to boost morale at home. Realizing their films could use "a woman's touch," the British Ministry of Information hires Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton) as a scriptwriter in charge of writing the female dialogue. Although her artist husband looks down on her job, Catrin's natural flair quickly gets her noticed by cynical, witty lead scriptwriter Buckley (Sam Claflin). Catrin and Buckley set out to make an epic feature film based on the Dunkirk rescue starring the gloriously vain, former matinee idol Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy). As bombs are dropping all around them, Catrin, Buckley and their colorful cast and crew work furiously to make a film that will warm the hearts of the nation.

I was looking forward to this British comedy-drama but it just didn't settle in well. It seemed that it was 15 minutes into the movie before I really fully understand what was happening. I watched th first half twice trying to get Into the film but it never happened. The second half was much better but it wasn't good enough to warrant a rating above "just Okay"!

Great writing but a horribly sad film. That this is being marketed in some places as a comedy is wrong.

Wonderful, funny, and sad. Dramedy is a good description.
