First, I've seen Keira Knightley in this role for too many times. I am more and more convinced that she keeps being called to this movies because of her looks. I mean - Atonement, The Edge of Love, even Anna Karenina or The Duchess deliver the same vibes from Keira that this film does.
Then, some shots were aesthetically beautiful but the plotline never really gets under our skin, and the scene in the woods with three of the main characters... First I am pretty sure our Rachel had left her jacked inside the restaurant. Then which kind of fire gun, back in the 40s, would be able to fire a perfect shot to the front head to a passenger sit, from a dark wood, into a moving vehicle? Then how come the girl appeared in the wood, just like that?
At times it was beautiful and nostalgic, at times it seemed lazy and relied too much on Keira's looks to go through its lenght.
