I enjoyed watching this movie. Ms. Mirren was excellent. I liked the twists. It was nice to see once again Hollywood putting out movies showing blended families. The other most recent movie I saw showing a blended family (Last Christmas) was also set in England.
This movie kept me guessing. I knew something was up, but there were surprising twists and turns. Enjoyed it.
Always find Helen Mirren to be excellent. McKellen was ok. I was expecting a bit more - found the plot to be very predictable. Enjoyed and would recommend.
Kept me interested through the entire movie. Also love Helen Mirren.
Such great fun watching the twists and turns. Interesting reality of World War II scene showing jealousy, greed, and revenge in the end. Even if you guess the end, a great entertaining way to spend a few hours with real actors instead of something generated by computers. Outstanding !
Great pairing of McKellen and Mirren . A nice twisty thriller , a little predictable but entertaining otherwise . Was not expecting how it ended with a nice little twist.
2 brilliant actors in a complicated sad movie. Enjoyed it !
Good movie or Boomers, mystery, historical type thriller, Mirren is always 5 stars!
Ridiculous plot, a predictable twist, and dare I say bad acting? A perfect example of a movie that promises to be good, based on the past successes of stars that we know and love. The Good Lie was the movie trailer that got me to purchase a ticket and sit through something much worse than advertised.
Excellent actors and excellent story line!
