It felt like a welcome back to Kiera Knightly, as she seems to play this delicate 30s/40s type of women very well. She seemed to be everywhere a few years ago, and then I guess she slipped away to have some babies of her own and have a life. She is perfect in this role as Rachael Morgan, who comes to Hamburg in 1946 to live with her husband, all breathless pouty looks and quiet tears. They are to live in the requistioned house of German Stefan Lubert and his daughter Freda and all characters are dealing with their own grief and worries about how they are to move on post war.
I guess its more Sunday night cinema than blockbuster but it suited this middle aged lady quite well. 4/5

There aren't many movies that deal with the years immediately after the war. This sounds interesting at least from that aspect.
