Testament of Youth is a powerful story of love, war and remembrance, based on the First World War memoir by Vera Brittain, which has become the classic testimony of that war from a woman's point of view. A searing journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again, it's a film about young love, the futility of war and how to make sense of the darkest times.

Thanks for post but unfortunately I'm getting

And you're so blinded by conspiracy theories that you can't see straight, jump to mistaken conclusions because that's easier than actually doing anything useful yourself, and you're just so eager to trash, demean and discredit others' posts when there is NO evidence.

IF you were previously aware of this code/screening combination existing elsewhere why haven't YOU posted it on MSE for the benefit of its members, or it it just a one-way street for you?

So I suggest you check your flawed information.
It is YOU that have made the mistake.

Hi,

I have just printed tickets for Whiplash - 12/01/15 18:30

http://www.showfilmfirst.com/pin/244069

However, it says it is a Heat magazine preview and a copy of the magazine is required to validate the ticket.

Question: Does it mean that I can't use the tickets since I don't have a copy of the Heat magazine?

Thanks.

Kinda, but I've never been asked, which is good cause I've never had a copy :T

You won't need it. Of the dozens of times I've been to freebies I've only been asked once, said I left it at home and they let me in without fuss.

Thank you, nbgrobbo for the info.

I went to see 'Testament of Youth' last night. Although the film had high production values, star cast, authentic details, and beautiful photography, the actual emotion of the experience was curiously remote and I came away feeling rather disappointed. It was about WW1 after all! (Although it had no proper battles scenes, there was quite graphic depiction of the wounds arising from battle).

I think one problem with it was the casting of a Swedish girl, Alicia Vikander, as the main character. Whilst Alicia has a very beautiful face - and the director spent a very large proportion of the film in close ups of her - she doesn't act that well. All the scenes where she was supposed to be demonstrating internal emotion were - well, blank. And when she did speak, I was annoyed by her Continental accent! She drifted around rather like she was appearing in a Flake advert - nice to look at but no substance.

I kept trying to work out where she was from (only found out she was Swedish after the film) - it certainly wasn't Buxton, where Vera Brittain is shown growing up!

She is also, I think, mixed race - she was certainly very dark compared to her film 'parents' and 'brother'. Now I know the argument should be that it's the acting that should matter, not the complexion - but Vera Brittain is an enormously well-known person in British history, she was the mother of Shirley Williams, and all I kept thinking was:'why does the girl playing her look Indian?'

Another point: we are, apparently, be going to seeing a lot of Alicia Vikander, because she is being touted as the next Keira Knightly and has six films coming out this year.

A rather sad comparison, because one thing I really didn't like was how THIN this actress was. Size is not normally something that bothers me about a film character (and I am size 8 myself so have no axe to grind) - but this girl is painfully, painfully thin. In the Edwardian corsets of the period, she looked as if her waist would snap in two. Apparently she is 26, but she had the body shape of a 12 year old. Awful. And shame on film producers for seeing this as somehow 'star quality'.

Don't really know if I would recommend this film - it is long also, at 2 hours - and I'm rather sad about that, because it was a tumultous period in history and the autobiography it derives from was a superb piece of writing. What a pity that 'voice of a generation' didn't make it onto the screen.
