4 stars (Very Good) Realistic portrayal of the great British Pacifist by Alicia Vikander. A very moving story of WW1; the battlefields & the nursing stations. The agony of women at war is brilliantly played by Vikander and well worth seeing for that alone. ~Sandy

2 stars (Good Try) It is all a bit too romantically commercial at the expense of the more serious things that were happening at the time but that is not to say it is not worth a look as the production values are excellent. ~Tubbs
