Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008) short review

Kendra May 7, 2008
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)

I absolutely adored this film, from the plot (very reminiscent of 1930s-era screwball comedies), to the acting (Frances McDormand is just fabulous, Ciarin Hinds is dashing as always, and Shirley Henderson does evil so well), to the costumes (gorgeous dresses and fabulous hair), to the set design (amazing deco styling – wow!). There’s nothing to complain about – go see it!
