Review of How I Live Now

This was a bit strange if you ask me. The romance was a bit unusual and creepy to me. That being sad I actually really liked this movie. The cast isn't well known besides Saoirse Ronan who is really making a name for herself and Anna Chancellor. It was gripping and visually stunning. I am a sucker for a good war movie. The plot was interesting and keeps you locked in from beginning to end. It is somewhat reminiscent to Red Dawn or "Tomorrow, When the War Began", but it focuses more on a small family rather than a group of friends battling the enemies. It is also a what if scenario of World War III. A pretty cool idea and makes you wonder about some things. Kevin Macdonald is a really good director and if you haven't seen it you should check out The Last King of Scotland although be prepared for the sick brutality of it. Anyways this is a must see in my opinion. It is truly an intriguing piece of storytelling and makes you wonder.
