Very finely acted, but 'Ginger & Rosa' ends up being something that wouldn't look out of place on 'EastEnders'.
I'll start with the positives. The cast are terrific. Elle Fanning (Ginger) and Alice Englert (Rosa) are very good together, both impress. Alessandro Nivola gives a strong performance also. Away from them, I really enjoy how it's all filmed visually.
The plot, meanwhile, isn't the greatest. It builds up fairly nicely, though unfortunately concludes in more soap opera fashion; just against a deafening backdrop of politics and war. It isn't anything particularly bad, I did enjoy it, but it definitely cheapens events a tad; especially as it feels like the filmmakers are aiming for something more deeper in meaning.
I'd still say this is worth a watch, admittedly that's mainly thanks to Fanning & Co.
You've reached the end.
