Of all the movies
seen, this is up there with the best. It's perfect in its variations of tone,
from the lyrical to the grisly, and paced so that I never failed to be engaged
with it. It avoids being over-elaborate or over-clever.We are drawn in by comedy.
Stroppy American teenager Daisy (Saoirse Ronan) flies in to stay with her
English cousins and so far as she's concerned, she's landed in Hicksville. They live a carefree, mostly adult-free
existence in a ramshackle farmhouse with animals all over the place, unwashed
crockery and a casual approach to eating. Just what you want when you've got
OCD, food fads and medication. Determined to sulk in her room, she is
eventually drawn out and succumbs to the warmth of her cousins, 14-year-old
Isaac (Tom Holland), younger sister Piper (Harley Bird) and older brother Edmond (George MacKay}. But
in the background there are rumblings, particularly of a nuclear bomb which has
been detonated in London.
In the foreground, Daisy's and Edmond's
hormones are rumbling. The sex scene, when it comes, is how it should be done:
lovely without being too explicit, too long or salacious. That's followed by
soldiers arriving, guns blazing, to impose martial law. Boys and girls are
split up to be taken to separate camps, but Edmond and Daisy vow to be reunited. Daisy's
escape is a grim survival scenario in which she has to practically force-march
Piper to exhaustion through a landscape beset with dangers, particularly for
vulnerable females of any age. Who will survive? The acting? Well, there's acting, good acting
and acting so good that you forget that it's acting, and Ronan's and Bird's
acting both come into this last category. I was totally absorbed in their
journey. It's very, very rare for me to lose my sense of detachment when I'm
watching a film but I did here. Few people have doubted Ronan's ability since
her impressive performance as the 13-year-old Briony Tallis in Atonement.
However, I've sometimes felt that she has been the victim of a misguided
director (Peter Jackson in The Lovely Bones) or a substandard screenplay (The
Host). I've often wondered when she would get more material worthy of her
talent. Well, boy, has she hit the jackpot this time.
People will inevitably draw comparisons with Meg Rosoff's novel, which I haven't read, or other films in this "genre". How I detest the pretentious overuse of that word. Download How I Live Now (2013) Full Movie online Free.
