British, Dry Comedy
4 stars
Really good. In the beautiful English countryside, a group of stuffy writers gather for a retreat whilst a young beauty breezes into town, inspiring gossip, jealousy and a scandal or two. Mix in a couple of meddling teenage girls and a popular rock star and you have a fun mix of quirky characters. There is a rather gruesome tragedy, along with another fatality that broke my heart, and a bit more profanity than you’d expect from a quaint British film, but otherwise, this is a chipper little tale that I really liked. Stars Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia) as the perky beauty, Dominic Cooper (Mama Mia) as the rock star, Luke Evans (Clash of the Titans) as the local hunk and Roger Allam (The Queen, and V for Vendetta) as a pompous writer with a roving eye. Good movie.
