Let Me Go

Let Me Go is one of if not the most important movie released in 2017 because of the unique approach to addressing the most appalling of family secrets. The polished cast, impeccable directing, and amazing soundtrack provide the audience with a brilliant movie experience. Each actress in this incredible ensemble cast is able to carve out their own unique character with complex connections to each of the generations represented. Juliet Stevenson delivers what could be the most superb performance of her already notable career.

Polly Steele does a wonderful job of exploring the characters, their relationships with each other and the way each generation deals with the past and, without giving too much away, Helga's story gives a very different perspective of the impact of WWII.

A well written, directed and shot film with an excellent soundtrack that almost becomes another character, and definitely worth seeing.

Powerful as it's based on a true story. Great casting of the main characters. Although the film is about how a family comes to terms with issues of the past, it has many parallels to what's going on around us in the world today. Fantastic soundtrack and camera work. I'd thoroughly recommend seeing this film.

This is a truly remarkable movie based on a true story with a screenplay that is beautifully written and manages to conjure multiple emotions for the viewers. The performances of the entire cast is amazing but the interactions between the leading ladies leaves one often holding one's breath in anticipation. With a backdrop of the most incredible photography, a film score that is rich and beautiful in content and amazing all round production this is a film that draws the viewer in from the first scenes and never lets go. A thought provoking film absolutely appropriate for today's world and quite simply a must see movie.

Made you think a lot about how individual and family fortunes are forever impacted by involvement in major world events, when everyone else has moved on or forgotten. Very atmospheric locations and music. Left slightly curious about the role of other (male) family members who didn't feature - but maybe not that important to the main drama.
