Testament of Youth – 6.5
It seems harsh to be critical of a movie that is all about women’s rights, noble sacrifices, death and the pointless horrors of World War I and has a nice British cast and period costumes, but I got the feeling this should have been a one-hour TV show, rather than a two-hour movie. Alicia Vikander was fine in the lead role, but not quite Carey Mulligan or Reese Witherspoon all-the-time watchable, and for me the plot, always over-obvious, tended toward maudlin. I daresay this was more a woman’s movie.
