Review of Mrs. Miniver (1942) by The-Lords A — 27 Sep 2012
Wow! This film hit me hard. It lead me to believe then took that belief from me even though I knew I was being duped. William Wyler crafts a harrowing and beautiful tale of an English family clinging to each other through the early 21st century leading up to the second world war.
The moments of hilarity are only matched by the moments of drama. The engrossing performances of Garson and Pidgeon are the glue for this fantastic family drama. They don't make bios like this anymore, where the very soul is tested with the cruelest of atrocities and yet humanity finds a way to endure the ruin and rebuild from the rubble.
A very powerful film that takes dramatic turns from one emotion to the next. A must see!
