'Their Finest (2017' is certainly too long, with its two-hour run-time honestly feeling more like three-hours. It also isn't a particularly compelling film, it doesn't 'grab' you and keep you captivated throughout. It is a perfectly decent picture, though. It's well made and generally enjoyable, despite its structural and pacing issues. It's just that it is only entertaining up to a point because it is essentially a passive experience, lacking the connection required to make you truly care. 6/10

In 1940, England needs an inspiring film to uplift the hearts of their people and to influence Americans to enter the war. A brave story appeared in the paper about twin women who rescued soldiers retreating from Dunkirk in a private boat. Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton) is tasked to interview the women and help turn it into a screen play. The screen play took on a life of its own with changing direction and rewrites. Catrin's life becomes complicated. This was a great story with romance, humor, drama, and a dog. Good characters.

I do not know if they tried to do something else. I do not think so. But at least they have managed to make a movie that you see with affection. Gema appears and fills the screen and you follow her to see what happens to her, although you know perfectly how it will end, but the film is credible and that is not all.He takes many things as a caricature and makes them as such but he does them well.The three protagonist actors are great, but the others are also very good. Is that even those who have to fall ill, you like. That is difficult to achieve and get the viewer in your pocket.Costumes, makeup and art are splendid. They manage to get you into that historical moment.Photography is very good, it's very English and that's good. There are moments that bring a lot of light, but at least they are few.The address, although it does not make plans that look nice to me. But at least, it takes the movie well, it does not bore you and it puts you in your pocket. Get you watch the movie and follow it to the end.It's a movie to see the

Imagine your country fresh into the active part of a war you're not winning. You need a job and wind up on the screen writing team of a group of actors and producers who are putting together a patriotic war film of the recent fiasco in France culminating in the disorganized rescue of hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the beaches at Dunkirk. As you are doing all this, bombers are flying over your head and you keep losing bits of the set and various co-workers.This is the tale told in "Their Finest" a well-done film of the type that the British still manage to pull off, going into their past and providing believable representation of a different time.The simple to describe task of turning out a creditable patriotic war film is complicated by the various parties who review the work and not only critique the film, but have the power to make major changes what appears to be any time. The characters are continually at work making allowances for a script that does not follow reality because the reality was much more mundane than drama calls for, or when actors renege or forced upon cast members can't act, or a script-writer is called away.The cast is well chosen and capable and attractive. The movie set within a movie is cleverly written and depicted. This movie is entertaining, draws the viewer in, does not 'appear' to be full of surprises but was clearly a work of technical expertise that paid off.
