The period detail is well done – the screenplay is good but doesn't quite last the distance & we didn't need Hemsworth's character. Kate and Hugo are in top form but Judy Davis slays them all.
The screenplay and Kinnear's performance are sincere but as a dramatisation its a bit overlong and flat so they may as well have made a documentary instead.
It has some very good segments but it suffers from a whining boy kid – why they didn't drop him out of the plane early in the film when they had a chance is a mystery.
