I'm tired of some fellow IMDBers calling movies like this one "slow and boring." What do you want?' Car chases? Bombs? If you have no patience to let a story unfold, then don't watch movies like this. It's not spectacular, but it is highly effective and enjoyable. These are real people, with human goodness and human frailties. The story is not unusual, but it is well told. It's interesting to get an in-depth movie about the home front at war, and the way it brings forth new challenges and perhaps some benefits as well. WW1 at the home front for many was not as cataclysmic as WW2. Anyway, well worth watching -- if you don't insist on action in every frame.
