If you're looking for a charming way to spend a few hours; look no further than Their Finest.
A British war drama as stirring and poignant as it is lively and humorous, Their Finest is filled with fabulous performances to make you laugh and cry and is bound to be one of the surprise hits of 2017.
Some of the appeal for movie fans is that it's set in the film industry - a "film within a film" of sorts. In 1940 London, Mrs Catrin Cole (Arterton) applies for a job as a secretary at the Ministry of Information, only to be told by head of the Film Division Roger Swain (Richard E. Grant) that they think she'd be a good scriptwriter. Well, only of the female dialogue, also known as "the slop".
Catrin's husband Ellis (Jack Huston), a slightly older war artist, isn't impressed with his wife's new occupation, but Catrin shows a natural flair and the "female touch" appeals to the Ministry. Along with Buckley (Claflin), a dry and cynical screenwriter, she's charged with writing an epic propaganda drama based on the Dunkirk rescue; a film to rally the people at home and hopefully also entice the Americans into the war.
