This film starts out on a slow burn, but is not about car chases, explosions or blood and gore. With that out the way, what it is, is warmly filmed and deftly directed. I found it a very enjoyable exploration of the aftermath of a civil war, and the impact that has on several young lives. Some reviewers have commented that setting that civil war in the UK is not realistic. But that is to wholly miss the point of this movie. It's a film about people under extreme adversity and random circumstance, the setting is peripheral. Its about they deal with the fast changing situation, and the changes that occur in them as a result. Well paced from at least a quarter of the way in the ending is emotional and moving. I'll leave it for you to judge if you agree with me. So long as your not looking for a happy movie, but something that digs a little deeper.... then I don't think you will be disappointed.

Terrible movie. I watched it with a friend from work and she hated it to. The movie does a lot of 'almosts'. It was almost a movie about a English guy with telepathy that meets a girl from the US and falls in love. It was almost about a guy who is good with animals. It had a lot more 'almosts' but what it did was mention in passing that the one guy can read minds but... go no where with that. The main character is a girl who is, for no reason that's ever explained, very hateful. She's a total bitch to everyone around her and she's completely unlikeable. It's mentioned that she's a city girl from NYC. Then, suddenly, she's sweet and kind and caring. There was no character development of this, she changed faster than I can change a shirt out. Then she's taken away from the guy she just met and had sex with (who I think is her cousin anyway, but who knows?) and she becomes an expert survivalist who knows how to use a gun somehow. I didn't care a bit for any of the characters throughout this entire slop of a movie and when it finally ended I was just glad it was over. Why would anyone care about the characters? We're given no reason to care one wit about any of them. If I had been watching it alone, I'd have turned it off after the first 25 minutes. In short, the movie's crap.

The photography, the scenery and the landscape is great!! Very beautiful places!!! The young actors Saoirse Ronan and George MacKay are adults now and they are giving us a more mature performance well played. The children did a very good job also! I don't have anything else good to say about this movie. I've read some good reviews for the movie but I just can't see it. When the movie finished and I went out, I din't have any good feeling for the movie and to tell you the truth the last time I went to the cinema and I saw a film that I didn't like it was very very long ago, I can't ever remember when. So, what can I say? Of course it was a good effort but it didn't say much, for me at least. I can't recommend it but I can't stop you from going and I can't be sure that you won't like it. The two things that I didn't like was: 1. I didn't like the fact that they called the enemy just "terrorists", I think that was so wrong!! They could just say enemies if they didn't want to be specific. I understand of course if it was like that in the book but again I find it wrong! Its probably the author's mistake. Who is that enemy? Where it come's from? I just don't get it! Its too political! Terrorists against United Kingdom! Terrorists will take down UK or something. Whateveeerrrr!!! 2. At the scene where the girls with their friend "john" return where they stay from the farm and the terrorist have taken the village that they are staying. The van with children turns, stuck's and finally goes with the terrorist shooting against them. The next scene shows them at that old couple's house, how that can it be? I mean that the terrorists took,they captured that place, so they couldn't (the children) return back there. It doesn't work. I can't think something else. The only thing that I can think is only if it wasn't the village that the girls were staying and the van went there just to drop off some people. Anyway, like I said I can't recommend it but it's your choice! You definitely won't loose your money or your time over that!!

I was so disappointed with this film. To start with, we're supposed to cheer for the protagonist. But "Daisy" was about the most unlikable teen ever. She was so mean and rude and irritable, (Yeah, I got that her daddy has a new baby and she's jealous. But how can you be so unfriendly to people being super friendly to you?). I just couldn't stand her. Then, there was the whole *SPOILER ALERT* story line of how she fell for her cousin! Really? Are we - the viewers - supposed to be down with this romance? It was disgusting. Oh yeah, and this cousin struck me as possibly having Asperger's Syndrome. (There's nothing wrong with that, but why allude (being non verbal and highly sensitive to loud sounds) to it and not explain it?). And then the big boom happens and fallout and no one appears to be sick from radiation poisoning at any point. And the happy clan of cousins decide to move out of the comfortable house with beds and running water and a bathroom to the barn?! Were they supposed to be hiding? They weren't well hidden at all. It was unbelievably sad *SPOILER AGAIN* when Daisy comes across the pile of dead and find young Isaac. And that was sweet the way she symbolically buried him by burying his glasses, but then she's a mean b*tch to the little girl with blisters covering her feet because she complains about being tired. Oh yeah, and then she finds Eddie, who is beyond damaged, and the war ends and oh happy days again. There is no explanation as to what happened, how the war came to an end and wouldn't some adults have shown up - like maybe her father, who cared enough to send someone from the Embassy with a plane ticket for her at the start of the war. The whole thing reeked. I gave the movie 2 stars because Saoirse Ronan is a really good actress and Tom Holland was a delight and the scenery was gorgeous. Overall, the acting was well done. The script was the great flaw here.

How I Live Now is a realistic film following an American girl getting stuck in England when World War 3 breaks out. The cinematography is fantastic and even though the story strays from the book a bit, it is still fantastic and brilliantly written. As someone who knew the book very well, I was fearing how the film would change the story line, but instead I found myself loving every minute of the film. It moved me, it amazed me, it shocked me and any film that can do that is a good film in my opinion. Daisy's character shows a realistic interpretation of someone suffering from personal problems and a bad relationship with her Dad and how that in turn gives a realistic reaction of her trying so hard to cope and deal with the tragedy that she has to face. She has to be strong for her younger cousin Piper but feels her self getting desperate to be reunited with Edmund. Where I feel some screenwriters would over dramatise this story, making it more tragic and emotional, How I Live Now did not do this. The weight of what is really happening to the characters seeps into the audience in a haunting and dark way, making us understand just how much Daisy is struggling inside her head. And the audience grows with Daisy as she overcomes her personal problems and moves forwards in coping with the disaster she is faced with. I wouldn't say this is a war film, or a romance, or any other genre, instead I feel it is a mix of many genres with a nice share of realistic characters. Definitely a film I would recommend.
