Glorious 39 (2009) short review

Kendra May 7, 2009

2009 Glorious 39

A suspenseful mystery set during the very outbreak of World War II. The fabulous Romola Garai plays the eldest daughter in a Fine Old British Family who learns some increasingly uncomfortable truths about said family. It gets increasingly suspenseful and dark and twisty and sad and and… I recommend it! The costuming is REALLY fabulous — nice day wear, but there are some particularly glorious late 1930s evening gowns. Oh, and David Tennant has a small part – yay!
