Testament of Youth, 2015 - ★★½


An inoffensive opening to #LIFF28 was pretty much what I expecting from the only uninspiring trailer on the festival launch night. There's not much here that we haven't seen done before. Every major plot point is so heavily sign posted that there are no surprises. A few of the smaller roles are rather enjoyable, especially Joanna Scanlan chaperoning a date.


Towards the end things start to get interesting but by then it's too late and there's not enough to make the film anything other than ordinary.
