Title is great
Content of the book is really good. It is interesting and easy to read..... BUT the print is soooooo small I need to find my magnifying glass to read the book, and that is uncomfortable.

An excellent adaptation of a splendid book but it's a shame more wasn't filmed in Guernsey.
An enchanting story of interesting and sympathetic characters, combined with a mystery, set during the German Occupation of Guernsey. A good screenplay from the best-selling novel, a splendid cast and good chemistry between the romantic leads. Very enjoyable. The only thing against it is that it was not filmed in Guernsey and sadly looks nothing like Guernsey. Unfortunately the island has changed too much since the 1940s. A few inserted shots of Guernsey help somewhat but it could have used a few more. However this does not spoil a very good film.

Who doesn't love a bit of Lilly James & Jessica Brown Findlay. Great Actors.
A Great British film. Engaging characters with wonderful acting. A lovely change to CGI often poor Hollwood films 🎥 🙂

Brilliant story with characters you really care about.
Read the book some years ago - absolutely loved it. Long wanted to see the film - unusually, it's very nearly as good as the book. Splendid acting, lovely scenery, engaging characters and a moving engaging story. Brilliant.

Notting Hill on an Island
If you liked the classic Richard Curtis films- 4 Weddings, Notting Hill etc then this is for you. Mixed in with that is the genuine history of the occupation of Guernsey by the Nazis, which one hopes every Brit knows but has to be explained in one of the extras to the US audience. Lily James is as lovely as ever. The love story is rather contrived- well very- but as I said it is a Richard Curtis.

A lovely film
A great cast and engaging storyline around the German occupation of Guernsey, very entertaining but also with a poignient side. Thoroughly enjoyed and currently doing the rounds with family and friends it was so good.

A film for all ages, tugs at the heart strings though!
A beautiful film for all the family, depicting the personal and national issues at the end of WWII. A true life drama which will engage with any age, speaks to us all.
