Glorious 39

Certificate: 12A
Running Time: 129 minutes
Director: Stephen Poliakoff


This mysterious tale surrounding a traditional family in pre-wartime Britain was actually rather average in standard. Anne Keyes (played by Romola Garai) is living the perfect life. She has a respected family, a flourishing career in acting and a powerful, handsome love interest. But upon her findings of some secret recordings, her life spirals into a world filled with brutality and betrayal. The phrase ‘curiosity killed the cat’ springs to mind. Also starring Bill Nighy, David Tenant and Julie Christie, this film could have been really worthwhile, but was put together in a very obvious manner, making it predictable.

Rating: ***
