The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
A connection is built between Juliet Ashton and the members of the literary association Guernsey and the potato husk pie when they share their experiences on the island of Guernsey occupied by the Nazis during the Second World War; she has the idea of writing a book about them. Then she goes to visit their island, there are long-term friendships, and she takes great strides in the path of changing her life.

This handsomely shot, elegant and engaging film by and large avoids the cloying winsomeness of its title to paint a vivid portrait of an era...

It could surely have told a better-focused story.

As a title, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society might be a mouthful, but it couldn't suit this warm, nostalgic post-war drama better.

This is destined to fill a rainy afternoon between Christmas and New Year.

Winningly warm and smiley.

The result is a rewarding and entertaining slice of British fare you can really get your teeth into.

Buoyed by a reliably appealing star turn from James, this handsome tearjerker mostly sidesteps the tweeness of its title to become, somehow, both an old-fashioned romance and a detective story trumpeting gender equality.

This is a sweet, well-shot and well-acted piece drawn from a thoughtful script.

Yes, some of the narrative twists are a bit creak... but there's enough drama and feel-good factor to leave you feeling, unlike sampling the potentially unctuous pastry of the title, more than satisfied.

This film adaptation of a popular novel begins as a feather-light piece of escapism, but gains unexpected pathos mid-way.

They've disentangled the novel's dramatic and romantic complications to a fault; if it's possible to merely amble in place, that's what the storytelling in "Guernsey" does for protracted stretches of screen time.

The Guernsey Literary Pie and Potato Pie Society may be a mouthful of a title, yet the film is nourishment for the heart and soul.
