THE GUERNSEY LITERARY & POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY Drama/History/Romance (2018)
Rated M BASED ON THE BEST-SELLING NOVEL
If the film’s intriguing title gives you an appetite, take the leap and have a bite. Having the courage to reach for what you want is the essence of this engaging film that captures not only the imagination but also the heart. Adapted from the novel by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer, Four Weddings and a Funeral director Mike Newell uses his considerable skills to weave together a richly layered film that is both uplifting and moving. It encompasses a war story, a mystery tale and a love triangle, while instilling an enticing sense of place for its stunning Guernsey setting. Lily Taylor shines as the protagonist, a writer searching for her milieu and direction in life. It’s delightful.
A wealth of English talent is gathered to portray the locals: Penelope Wilton as the superior Amelia, Tom Courtenay as the postmaster who makes the pies of the title, Katherine Parkinson as the gin-making Isola and Jessica Brown Findlay as lovely, brave Elizabeth, whose absence Juliet is trying to unravel. Juliet’s journey is a personal one and we are with her all the way as she discovers the stepping-stones that lead her to her destiny. The scenery is gorgeous, the music rousing and the production design faultless as Newell’s tapestry of characters, place and emotions comes together. It’s about books, values, priorities, love, and above all having the courage to pursue your dreams.
