The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018)
Directed by Mike Newell this film based on the novel of the same name stars Lily James, Michiel Huisman and Glen Powell. Following WW2 an author travels to the island of Guernsey to learn about life under occupation there.
Touching on a rarely covered piece of British history this film hints at some really important themes but sadly is more interested in a predictable love story. If we could just got rid of the protagonist this could have been a really great film. Not a bad watch overall but something of a squandered opportunity.
3/5
