What the critics say
Based on 13 reviews, Their Finest gets an average review score of 74
This scintillating British comedy turns on the making of a dubiously inspirational propaganda film during the Blitz.
2960d ago
Director Lone Scherfig (“An Education”) manages both to tweak and to champion the wartime perseverance that took place both on and off screen.
2960d ago
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.
2960d ago
“Their Finest” is set in London in 1940, during the height of the Blitz, and takes its title from a speech by Winston Churchill.
2960d ago
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.
2960d ago
When there is a global call to arms, the uplifting escape that movies can offer is a necessity and the unique insight that women provide is essential. Both are especially needed when, at any given moment, death lurks around the corner and chin-up optimism is in short supply.
2960d ago
The restrained but charming Their Finest honors a different kind of war hero.
2960d ago
Their Finest presents a potpourri of characters and angles of view, yet Scherfig keeps all the plates spinning with seeming ease. And though her role may be a bit underwritten, Arterton imbues Catrin with added depth and alacrity. Their Finest may ultimately be the best words to describe the amalgamated work of all participants in this film.
2960d ago
Gemma Arterton and Sam Claflin play reluctant screenwriting collaborators on a WWII film designed to lift the British public's spirits and coax America into the conflict in Lone Scherfig's period comedy-drama.
2960d ago
The movie makes a game attempt to resonate as something stronger than a typical period romance, wringing its wartime setting for all the pathos it can manage.
2960d ago
It intimately focuses on its main character’s personal triumphs and refuses to fall into heavy-handed polemicism.
2960d ago
The comforting analog clack of typewriter keys is a leitmotif in Their Finest, Lone Scherfig’s slight but appealing adaptation of Lissa Evans’ novel Their Finest Hour and a Half (who knows why the subject of the original title was confusingly cast aside).
2960d ago
An Education director Lone Scherfig goes period again with this account of British women on the home front during the Blitz – but it’s all a bit predictable.
