An exquisite piece of work that shimmers with authentic emotion.January 01, 2016
The actors are all extremely fine, with special credit extending not just to Vikander but to Colin Morgan in wonderfully open-hearted form as a fellow member of an all-but-lost generation.June 19, 2015
In what is a well-acted but fairly typical prestige period drama, it's Vikander's nuanced performance as the resolute but still-vulnerable Vera who gives the film its depth.December 22, 2015
This incredibly emotional film looks at one young woman who saw both her brother and fiancé volunteer to fight in the trenches.May 22, 2016
Nimbly tip toes around potential schmaltz, but still delivers the expected quota of emotion.December 31, 2015
As this is a film about a witness bearer, it does well to capitalize on Vikander's perpetually observant eyes, which convey tenderness, intelligence, shock, incomprehension, comprehension, resiliency, and finally wisdom.July 09, 2015
Though the movie at times feels oddly unfinished (you wonder what Miranda Richardson, in a tiny role as an Oxford professor, is there for), it's artful and moving.April 26, 2016
It's very nicely, if a little safely made, and gives you a compelling sense of how blithely an entire generation was squandered.June 18, 2015
This is Vikander's film and she is very good here.July 09, 2015
As a story, it evokes a word that no battlefield nurse would ever apply to her experiences: sterile.July 10, 2015
Somehow, Vikander sells it all, not with braying and big gestures, but with vulnerability, sincerity and the sort of ethereal realness that can't be quantified. More, please, more.July 02, 2015
Testament of Youth isn't a typical biopic; it's a heartfelt manual on forging ahead.
