Review of Glorious 39

Glorious 39 (2009)
7/10
A true mystery
7 January 2012
So, here's another pre-war (WWII) film for the mystery - crime enthusiasts. Put some political/ national matters, a high-placed family in a British countryside and a few fatal events and you have your mystery case drama.

As expected, the protagonists and supporting actor's performances were stunning. I wouldn't expect less from Bill Nighy, or Romola Garai and -for the love of God- Christopher Lee and David Tennant have a small part in this film! Hugh Bonneville was amazing, too.

What could go possibly wrong? Well, i found the duration quite tiring. The second third of the film had plenty of long and slow scenes. I was patiently waiting for something to happen, because i really liked the whole story/ idea and the way things revealed. There's a lot of suspense and the ending is rewarding.
