Their Finest's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
Their Finest delivers in a way that would please the Ministry of Information: it?s rousing and emotional, there are laughs and tears, and it portrays people trying and, mostly, succeeding at being their best selves in the service of their country.
The Playlist
The charming, rousing WWII romance Their Finest is a film that openly stumps for two causes: the value of women in the workplace, and the power of cinema to tell stories that people need to hear.
Los Angeles Times
Their Finest is a treat that has something on its mind, a charming concoction that adds a bit of texture and bite to the mix. Genial and engaging with a fine sense of humor, it makes blending the comic with the serious look simpler than it actually is.
Their Finest is too understandably serious to be called a romp, yet it has a buoyancy that lifts you and, in Ms. McCrory, a woman who does, too.
The Hollywood Reporter
While the strong ensemble cast is Their Finest's most valuable asset, the movie also looks quite handsome on what appears to be a modest budget, and includes some delightful glimpses of how screen effects were achieved way back in those handcrafted days.
The A.V. Club
But if Their Finest is a little stodgy and tasteful, it also possesses Scherfig?s trademark wistfulness.
Indiewire
The romantic scenes are cute, but they feel at odds with the drama. The laughs land like chuckles, the love registers as mere fondness, and the salient observation that countries recast themselves during wartime is reduced to a fleeting detail.
The Guardian
At its core, it?s really just a workplace love story that grows increasingly uninterested in its plucky heroine?s journey in favour of hitting familiar rom-com notes ? and to give audiences another reason to love Bill Nighy.
