Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone interested in what war does to people and a family movie night. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Liked Darkest Hour? This is a good next one.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Molly is a girl living in the year 1944 and WWII has brought many changes to Molly's life. An English girl comes to live with Molly's family to escape the bombings. They slowly become good friends.
