Storyline

London, 1962. Two teenage girls - Ginger and Rosa -- are inseparable; they play truant together, discuss religion, politics and hairstyles, and dream of lives bigger than their mothers' frustrated domesticity. But, as the Cold War meets the sexual revolution, and the threat of nuclear holocaust escalates, the lifelong friendship of the two girls is shattered - by the clash of desire and the determination to survive.

Quotes

Ginger: We had a dream, that we would always be best friends. When we were born, for some it was the end. Now it seems that it may not be tomorrow. But despite the horror, and the sorrow I loved our world, I wanted us all to live. Now Rosa, you've asked me to forgive. One day, If mom survives this bitched night, and we shall meet again, and I will say: "I loved you Rosa. Don't you see?" But we are different, you dreamed of everlasting love. Not me.

Elle Fanning did what Nadia Comăneci did to Gymnastics.
16 November 2012 | by (Pittsburgh PA) – See all my reviews

In 1976, Nadia Comăneci scored a perfect 10 in Gymnastics which ultimately redefined the sport and required creation of a new scale by which to measure performances. So to does Elle Fanning in Ginger & Rosa. Critics and audiences are so wowed by her performance, they're at a loss for words. In The Guardian's review used such terms as "eerily good" and "scary good." It's not a movie with a big story, it's a slice of life, teenage angst, and the trials and interactions that set our life trajectories for better or worse. It's beautifully rendered with loving attention to detail and human warmth. But don't miss this amazing performance by Elle Fanning, who is poised to redefine film acting.
