From go to whoa the characters yell at each other with meaning. The six adult performers are spot on and the noisy kids are the sour cream on the stale cake.
I'll remember the convoys, the musical score but above all Del Toro at his sinister best (I've said that before about his performances sorry) & Emily Blunt who holds her own without a script. I'll remember more about this film than many others.
When this film was released it seemed that every second film was a bloody cooking film – it is another bloody cooking film but it has Meryl with a lovely slightly over the top performance and she makes all the difference.
