Frightening/Intense Scenes: The dead body's & the nuclear explosion may be disturbing for some viewers
 
Story: An American girl sent to the English countryside to stay with relatives finds herself fighting for her survival as the UK turns into a violent military state

Likes : I can honest start of by saying wow Extremely strong movie, A remake of an award-winning book, the movie covers a world that could very easily become a reality, but hopefully only under exceptional circumstances this would ever happen.Saoirse Ronan's performance is outstanding as usual as she play a teenage who lost her mum at birth, she trouble by this with having ocd as well life for her is tough,.
Despite its genre, the movie was actually remarkably artistic - not just in the beautiful countryside that is so tragically spoilt by the outbreak of a massive global conflict, but also in its portrayal of the nature of war. Notably, the enemy is not identified once, beyond the fact that they are "terrorists." Our only interactions with them in the movie could imply that they are anarchists, but this is mere speculation. And it is not told from the military point of view, who might be used to threats like this, but rather from the point of view of the civilians, whose lives have been torn apart.
This film really push's the boundaries of being disturbing & haunting in place as you see a country being throw in to a war zone & the bodies are piling up, as we are taken on a journey of two girl trying to get back home but along the way it becomes a fight for survival.
I will warn you tho that this film is extremely disturbing in parts it will make you cry in other, it is beautiful made although a little slow you can look past that. The love making seen is brilliant done as well to show a tasteful loving moment, there are some scene that are highly disturbing & shocking but you have to expect that from the film concept. This is a film I recommend you watch as it a beautiful made film that you wont be disappointed in watching.
Dislikes : Nothing wrong with this film.

Overall : hauntingly disturbing & shock master piece of a film that a must to see.
 
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.4 out of 10 for concept/story
